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

Answered in 4 sources

Faith is a work of God as it is stated in Scripture that believing in Christ comes from being taught by God (John 6:44).

The New Testament consistently affirms that true faith is not merely a human effort but a gift from God. Jesus states in John 6:44 that 'no man can come unto me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him.' This highlights that faith is a supernatural work wrought by God. Moreover, John 1:12-13 elaborates that those who believe in Christ do so because they were given the right to become children of God, born of God, not of human will or effort. This underscores the sovereignty of grace, affirming that faith itself is part of God's work in the hearts of His elect.
