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

Answered in 1 source

Grace empowers believers to have faith, which is a gift from God, not a result of human will.

Faith and grace are intricately linked in the doctrine of salvation. Ephesians 2:8-9 states that it is by grace we are saved through faith, and this is not of ourselves; it is the gift of God. This means that genuine faith is a result of God's grace at work within us, leading us to believe in Christ. It negates the idea that faith is an act of human free will, asserting instead that it is a divine gift given to those whom God has chosen. The effectiveness of faith in salvation is thus rooted in God's sovereign grace.
