How do we receive the gift of faith?

Answered in 1 source

The gift of faith is received through the preaching of the gospel and the work of the Holy Spirit.

According to Romans 10:17, faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. This emphasizes that the message of the gospel is the primary means through which God imparts faith to believers. The Holy Spirit plays a crucial role, as He illuminates our hearts, allowing us to grasp the truths of the gospel and trust in Christ. Additionally, faith is not something we conjure up on our own; it is a sovereign gift from God, granted to His chosen people to affirm their place in His plan of redemption. Thus, consistent exposure to the gospel and a posture of humility before God help us receive this crucial gift of faith.
