Answered in 1 source
True saving faith is a gift from God, as affirmed in Ephesians 2:8-9, which states that faith is not of ourselves but a granted gift.
According to Ephesians 2:8-9, true saving faith is a divine gift from God, establishing that it does not originate from human effort or merit. This aligns with the character of God, as all that comes from Him is holy and untainted. God’s sovereign grace ensures that saving faith is bestowed upon His elect, and this faith is effectual, leading to genuine transformation and good works. Any faith that does not align with God's character or does not produce real change is deemed inauthentic. Therefore, we can be assured that true faith must come from God, manifested through the Holy Spirit's work in the heart of the believer.
