How does God grant repentance and faith?

Answered in 1 source

God grants repentance and faith as gifts of His sovereign grace, not as results of our own efforts.

Scripture clearly teaches that repentance and faith are gifts from God. 2 Timothy 2:25 states, 'if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth.' This highlights that it is God's prerogative to grant repentance, demonstrating that we cannot stir up faith or repentance in ourselves. Instead, it is by the work of the Holy Spirit through the preaching of the Gospel that sinners are enabled to turn to Christ in faith.
