How do we receive faith according to the Bible?

Answered in 2 sources

Faith is a gift from God, given to us through the preaching of the gospel.

According to Scripture, faith is not something that originates within us but is a gift from God. Ephesians 2:8 states that we are saved by grace through faith, which is the result of God's gift. This further ties to the preaching of the gospel, as faith comes by hearing the Word of God (Romans 10:17). This understanding underscores the Reformed doctrine that emphasizes God's initiative in salvation, where He must first regenerate our hearts before we can believe.
