How does God give faith to believers?

Answered in 3 sources

God imparts faith to believers as a gift, opening their hearts and minds to spiritual truths (Ephesians 2:8).

The act of receiving faith is not an achievement of human effort but rather a divine gift from God. Ephesians 2:8 states, 'For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.' This immense truth underscores the belief that God intervenes by His Spirit to open hearts and minds to the truths of the Gospel. This involves a transformative process whereby individuals who were once spiritually blind are enabled to see and believe, marking the beginning of their new life in Christ—an act of God’s mercy and grace.
