How does God work faith in a sinner's heart?

Answered in 1 source

God works faith in a sinner's heart through the conviction of sin and revelation of Christ.

Typically, God initiates faith in a sinner’s heart by first convicting them of their sinfulness, making them aware of their need for a Savior. This aligns with Christ's purpose to call sinners to repentance. Once a sinner recognizes their need, God often shuts every door of hope apart from His mercy, demonstrating that salvation cannot be earned through works but is a gift of grace. Finally, God reveals Christ’s glory and excellency, allowing the sinner to see Jesus as the answer to their dire condition, thus producing genuine faith in the heart.
