How does God provide repentance and faith?

The sermon explains that both repentance and faith are gifts from God, not self-generated works. This aligns with the Reformed understanding of salvation, where it is taught that man, in his natural state, is dead in sin and cannot come to Christ unless the Lord enables him. Habakkuk's journey illustrates this truth as he learns to cry out for understanding and mercy. When God opens the eyes of His people to their sin, He grants them the ability to repent and the faith to believe. This process emphasizes God's initiative in salvation, reinforcing the doctrine of grace alone and God's sovereign choice in redeeming His people.
