How does one come to faith in Christ?

Coming to faith in Christ is a deeply personal journey characterized by recognizing one's need for a Savior. As indicated in the sermon, the Greeks recognized that their religious observance was insufficient and sought to see Jesus personally (John 12:20-21). This reflects the biblical truth that true faith begins when God exposes our sinfulness and our impossibility of self-redemption. The Holy Spirit works in the hearts of sinners to reveal Christ as the only means of salvation. Thus, faith is not only a cognitive assent but a heartfelt response to God’s grace, leading to a desire to repent and follow Him who alone can cleanse and redeem.
