How do we know that faith in the gospel is a gift from God?

Answered in 1 source

Faith in the gospel is a gift from God, bestowed by the Holy Spirit, as emphasized in the sermon and supported by Scripture.

The sermon explains that faith is not merely a human decision or effort but a divine gift. Ephesians 2:8-9 affirms that we are saved by grace through faith, and this faith is not from ourselves; it is a gift from God. In the process of salvation, the Holy Spirit works in the hearts of believers to create this faith, enabling them to trust in Christ fully. This is further supported by the understanding that true faith results from God’s sovereign work in the life of an individual, convincing them of their sinfulness and the sufficiency of Christ’s righteousness. Therefore, our perseverance and faith are evidence of God’s sustaining grace in our lives.
