How do we know that faith is a supernatural act of God?

Answered in 1 source

Faith is understood as a supernatural act of God since Ephesians 2:8 highlights that it is not of ourselves, but a work of divine grace.

In the Reformed perspective, true saving faith is emphasized as a supernatural act inspired by God rather than a decision based on human will. Ephesians 2:8 reinforces that faith is a gift from God, demonstrating that no one arrives at faith without divine intervention. The Biblical examples, such as Abraham's call, illustrate that faith is initiated by God who communicates His truth and grace. Hebrews 11 elaborates on this by showing how the heroes of faith acted not on their own understanding but through the empowerment of God’s word. This understanding cultivates a deep reliance on God’s sovereignty in salvation, clearly illustrating that faith glorifies God alone.
