How do we know God gives faith to the heart?

Answered in 1 source

We know God gives faith because it is not a product of human effort but a divine gift.

The sovereignty of God in salvation is crucial to the Reformed faith, illustrating that faith itself is a gift from God. Ephesians 2:8-9 states, 'For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.' This reinforces the idea that true faith can only arise when God transforms the heart and grants a person the ability to believe. In 1 Corinthians 12:9, the apostle Paul also mentions faith as one of the spiritual gifts given by the Holy Spirit, further establishing that faith is divinely initiated. Without God's intervention, humanity is incapable of coming to faith on its own.
