How do we know that conversion is a work of God's grace?

Answered in 1 source

We know conversion is a work of God's grace because it requires a good and honest heart, which God grants to some, not all.

Conversion, as described in scripture, is a work initiated by God rather than a result of human effort. In Luke 8:15, Jesus says that those on good ground keep the word they have heard, indicating that faith itself is a gift from God. This aligns with the doctrine of sovereign grace, which teaches that God chooses the recipients of His grace. Romans 9:16 supports this by stating, 'So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that showeth mercy.' Therefore, knowing that God regenerates and converts some to Him provides assurance that our salvation is indeed a Divine work.
