How does the Holy Spirit give faith to believers?

Answered in 1 source

The Holy Spirit sovereignly imparts faith to the elect, revealing the work of Christ and enabling them to believe.

The role of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer is to reveal the truth of God's Word and the saving work of Christ. According to 1 Corinthians 2, the Spirit discloses what God has prepared for those who love Him, effectively taking the message of salvation and applying it to the hearts of the elect. This action goes beyond mere human persuasion; it is a sovereign act that regenerates the heart and creates genuine faith. Thus, the Holy Spirit is not a passive influence but an active agent in the transformation of believers, bringing them to repentance and faith by revealing Christ's glory.
