How does God give us faith?

The gift of faith is a central theme in Reformed theology, affirming that it is God who instills faith in the hearts of His people. It is not something we conjure on our own; rather, it is bestowed upon us through the Holy Spirit, as we see in passages like Ephesians 2:8-9. The sermon highlights that true faith comes from God and leads us to trust in Him completely, illustrated by the Israelites who believed God’s word and acted on it, leading to their liberation from Jericho. This act of divine grant reinforces our understanding that faith is a foundational aspect of our relationship with God.
