How do we know that faith comes through understanding what Christ has done?
Answered in 1 source
Faith is a gift from God that arises from recognizing and believing in the completed work of Christ on the cross.
The sermon highlights that faith does not arise from witnessing miracles or external acts but from understanding the depth of what Christ has accomplished through His sacrifice. This concept is supported by Ephesians 2:8-9, which states that faith is a gift from God, not a result of works, meaning spiritual belief comes when we truly comprehend what Christ achieved on our behalf. When we see the depth of the gospel—Christ's work described in Romans 1 as fulfilling God's promise—it leads to true belief anchored in gratitude and awe, much like the deputy in Acts 13 who was astonished at the doctrine of Christ.
