How do we know our faith is based on God's power?

Answered in 1 source

Our faith is grounded not in human wisdom but in God's power as evidenced by the work of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:5).

In 1 Corinthians 2:5, Paul instructs that faith should not rest on the wisdom of men but on the power of God. This underscores the sovereign grace doctrine that salvation and faith are granted by God through the Holy Spirit. When the gospel is proclaimed, it is God's Spirit that brings about a transformative faith, which is rooted in an understanding of Christ crucified. Thus, believers' assurance lies in God's sovereign choice and the efficacy of His power at work within them, rather than any persuasive abilities of humans.
