How does faith relate to election and regeneration?

Answered in 1 source

Faith is the evidence of God's election and regeneration in a believer's life, demonstrating God's transformative work.

In Reformed theology, faith is intrinsically linked to the doctrines of election and regeneration. Those whom God has elected to salvation will inevitably be regenerated by the Holy Spirit, producing genuine faith in their hearts. This process is not initiated by human effort but rather is a result of divine action. Faith serves as the evidence of this transformation, as stated in Hebrews 11:1, indicating that it is the assurance of things hoped for. The believer’s active trust and reliance on Christ signal that they are among God's elect, thus affirming both their election and regeneration. This connection underscores the grace of God that operates in the believer’s life, facilitating true faith that produces good works as a reflection of that salvation.
