How does faith relate to grace?

Answered in 2 sources

Faith is a response to God's grace, serving as the means through which we receive salvation.

Faith and grace are inseparable in the context of salvation. According to Ephesians 2:8-9, we are saved by grace through faith, illustrating that grace initiates our salvation, while faith acts as the means by which we accept it. This divine grace is unearned and is the result of God's sovereign choice, which culminates in our belief. In Romans 4:3, Paul emphasizes that Abraham's faith was credited to him as righteousness, indicating that saving faith relies entirely on God's gracious promises rather than individual merit or works.
