How does faith relate to God's love and election?

Answered in 1 source

Faith is the evidence of God's love and election, as those chosen by God are enabled to believe in Christ for salvation.

Faith is both a gift from God and the response of the elect to His saving work in Christ. The sermon emphasizes that the true evidence of election is manifested through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. In John 3:16, God's love is directed towards those who believe in His Son. This means that belief is not merely an action taken by the individual but rather an outworking of the new birth that God instills within His chosen. Therefore, the ability to have faith signifies not only one's response to the gospel but also highlights God's love and the divine election of the believer.
