How does God give faith to believers?

Faith comes to believers as a gift from God, stemming from His sovereign grace and divine revelation. As indicated in the sermon, Jesus Himself taught that faith is revealed by God; Peter was blessed because God had revealed to him the truth of Christ (Matthew 16:17). Genuine faith is a miraculous action of the Holy Spirit, transforming the heart and enabling the individual to recognize and trust in Jesus Christ. This emphasizes the Reformed understanding that faith is not initiated by human will or decision but is a result of God's sovereign initiative in one's life, which culminates in a personal relationship with Christ.
