How does God's sovereignty relate to the faith of believers?

Answered in 1 source

God's sovereignty is fundamental to the faith of believers, as it is He who operates to instill faith in our hearts.

In Reformed theology, God's sovereignty is integral to understanding the nature of saving faith. The Bible teaches that it is God who actively works in the hearts of His people to produce genuine faith. Philippians 1:6 states, 'He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.' Thus, believers can be assured that their faith is not a result of their own efforts but rather an expression of God's purposeful election and grace. This relationship underscores the belief that salvation is entirely God's work, affirming the assurance believers have in their faith as part of God's sovereign plan.
