True faith is confirmed as a gift from God through passages like Ephesians 2:8-9, highlighting that salvation is not by our works.
Ephesians 2:8-9 states, 'For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.' This emphasizes that faith itself cannot be attributed to human effort but rather is a divine gift. Moreover, Romans 1:16-17 further emphasizes that the righteousness of God is revealed through faith, affirming that our understanding comes from God's revelation rather than our comprehension. Such scriptures confirm that faith is a product of God's grace and not our merit.
