How does God grant faith to believe the gospel?

Answered in 1 source

God grants faith as a gift, enabling individuals to believe the gospel of Jesus Christ.

According to biblical teaching, saving faith is not something that originates within us but is a divine gift from God. Ephesians 2:8-9 explains that 'by grace you are saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.' This means that God must open our hearts and minds to understand and accept the gospel, as faith comes by hearing the Word of God (Romans 10:17). Thus, those who believe have been given this miracle of faith by divine grace, confirming that salvation is wholly a work of God.
