How does election relate to faith in Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Election is the divine choice that precedes and guarantees faith in Christ for the elect.

Election is intricately linked to faith, as it establishes the foundation upon which the believer's faith rests. According to the doctrine of sovereign grace, those whom God elects are inevitably brought to faith in Christ through the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit. In John 10:26, Jesus indicates that belief is evidence of being among His sheep. Therefore, true faith is a result of God's electing grace, reinforcing that salvation is not a result of human effort but a gift from God that manifests through faith in Christ.
