How do we know that faith is a gift of grace?

Answered in 1 source

We know that faith is a gift of grace through the Biblical teaching that salvation is initiated by God, not by human effort.

In the parable of the sower (Luke 8:5-18), Jesus explains that true faith comes from a heart transformed by grace. The reception of the Word of God requires a new heart, a gift given by the Holy Spirit. This understanding aligns with Ephesians 2:8-9, where it states that faith itself is not from ourselves; it is the gift of God. Therefore, faith is not a work that we can boast about but a sovereign gift given to those whom God chooses to save, demonstrating His grace and mercy toward sinners.
