What does it mean to have the faith of God's elect?

Answered in 2 sources

The faith of God's elect means possessing a belief that acknowledges the truth of salvation through Christ as a gift from God.

The faith of God's elect is characterized as a particular trust that acknowledges and loves the truth of the gospel, resulting in genuine conversion and a relationship with Christ. This faith is considered a gift from God, sovereignly given to those He has chosen. It goes beyond mere intellectual assent; it embodies a heartfelt acceptance of God’s promises, particularly concerning salvation. As expressed in Titus 1:1, this faith is shared among all believers, highlighting its commonality stemming from the same source - God's grace. Furthermore, this faith brings forth a transformative effect in the believer's life, glorifying God and leading to obedience and joy in the truth of salvation.
