How do we know that grace is more powerful than faith?

Answered in 1 source

Grace is what enables and sustains faith; without grace, faith cannot exist or produce any good.

In the sermon, it is emphasized that faith is a result of grace rather than its own independent force. While many people may speak of their faith as an active power that accomplishes things, the reality is that faith itself is a gift that arises from God's unmerited grace. The testimony of the Syrophoenician woman shows us that her faith was merely an acknowledgment of her need, and her request for assistance was a humble admission that she could do nothing on her own. Thus, it is God's grace that not only gives faith but also ensures that faith is directed toward Christ, the only source of true help and salvation.
