How does God initiate and confirm faith in a believer?

The work of faith begins in the heart as God sows the incorruptible seed of His Word. This transformative process is described in Luke 6:43-45, where it is illustrated that a good tree produces good fruit based on what lies within. God's election and call precede a person's belief, resulting in the heart's confession of faith. As this seed takes root, it produces the fruit of belief and, ultimately, a public confession through baptism, showcasing God's work in the believer's life and confirming their faith before others.
