How is faith connected to grace in salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Faith is the means through which we receive God's grace for salvation, as shown in Ephesians 2:8.

In Ephesians 2:8, Paul illustrates the intrinsic connection between grace and faith: we are saved by grace through faith. It shows that faith is not a work we perform to earn salvation; rather, it is simply the means by which we lay hold of the grace God offers. This faith itself is a gift from God, ensuring that the entire process of salvation is an act of His sovereignty and grace. In Reformed theology, this highlights the belief that apart from divine intervention, individuals would never come to faith, underscoring the necessity of God’s work in both initiating and sustaining our belief.
