How does grace apply to faith in the context of salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Grace is the foundational principle by which faith itself is granted to the believer for salvation.

In Ephesians 2:8-9, we see that faith is also a gift given by God’s grace. It is through grace that we are enabled to believe in Christ for salvation, highlighting that faith is not a work that earns favor, but rather a response to God’s unmerited gift. This understanding demarcates true faith from the presumption of self-earning one's way, affirming that reliance on grace ensures that no one may boast in their salvation. The relationship between grace and faith is reciprocal; faith is made effective by the grace of God, leading us to salvation.
