How does grace relate to the faith of God's elect?

Answered in 1 source

Grace is the foundation upon which the faith of God's elect is built; it is through grace that faith is granted.

The faith of God's elect is entirely a product of grace, as affirmed in Philippians 1:29, where it states that it has been granted to believers to believe in Christ. This faith is given by God and rooted in His unmerited favor. It is not an innate quality or capability of the individual but is divinely imparted through regeneration, emphasizing that our ability to have true faith comes from God's grace and not from human effort. This assurance of faith as a gift of grace is central to Reformed theology, highlighting God's sovereignty in salvation.
