How do we know that faith in Jesus is a work of God?

Answered in 1 source

Faith in Jesus is revealed as a gift from God, not a result of human effort.

The Scripture reveals that the faith by which we believe in Christ is not generated by our own will or desire but is initiated by God. John 1:13 emphasizes that true belief is 'not of the will of man, but of God'. This reinforces the Reformed understanding that salvation is entirely dependent on God's mercy and grace. Romans 9:15-16 declares that God shows mercy to whom He wills, demonstrating that it is His sovereign choice that draws individuals to faith.
