How do we know that God gives faith to His people?
Answered in 1 source
God's provision of faith is grounded in His sovereign will and is manifested through the preaching of the gospel.
We come to know that God gives faith to His people through the Scripture and the means He has ordained. The sermon highlights that it is through the preaching of the gospel that God imparts faith. Romans 10:17 states, 'So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.' This divine act of faith-giving is not something we can conjure up ourselves; rather, it is a gift from God, rooted in His sovereign purpose to save His elect. In Ephesians 2:8-9, we learn that 'by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.' Thus, faith is a necessary component of salvation, given by God alone.
