We know God gives us faith because the scriptures teach that faith is a gift from God, not a result of our own efforts.
According to Ephesians 2:8-9, faith is not something we produce; it is a gift from God. This reflects the doctrine of sovereign grace, affirming that our ability to believe is initiated by God's power in our lives. The sermon highlights that we do not come to faith by our own strength, but by the regenerative work of the Holy Spirit, enabling us to respond to the gospel. Romans 10:17 also reinforces that faith comes by hearing the word of God, showcasing God's intervention in our understanding and belief.
