How does God's work relate to human faith?

Answered in 1 source

God's work is the foundation for human faith, as true faith is a gift from God rather than a human effort.

In the sermon, it is emphasized that faith is not a product of human effort but a gracious gift from God. Several examples from Hebrews 11, such as the Israelites passing through the Red Sea and the fall of Jericho's walls, illustrate that it was God's divine action that fostered faith in His people. The act of believing is inseparable from God's sovereign initiative. This underscores the Reformed viewpoint that faith is a result of God's workings in our hearts, which stirs genuine trust and belief in Him for salvation.
