What does faith mean in a sovereign grace context?

In sovereign grace theology, faith is viewed not as a human work but as a divine gift that God imparts to His elect. The sermon emphasizes that our faith must be rooted in Christ's faithfulness and not merely our belief or actions. This means that while we are called to believe, it is ultimately God's grace that enables one to respond in faith. The reliance on God's promises and His word is crucial, as true faith finds its foundation in what Christ has accomplished on behalf of His people. This understanding moves us beyond seeking assurance in our own faithfulness to resting in the perfect faithfulness of Christ.
