What does the Bible mean by the faith of God's elect?

Answered in 1 source

The faith of God's elect refers to a genuine, transformative experience of grace that is unique to those chosen by God for salvation.

The phrase 'faith of God's elect' encapsulates an experiential understanding of faith that goes beyond mere intellectual assent. In the sermon, it is emphasized that true faith results from a heart transformed by God's grace, leading to a lifelong journey of growing in truth and godliness. This experience is characterized by a profound conviction of sin, a turning towards Christ, and an acknowledgment of one's need for a righteousness apart from oneself. As described in Titus 1:1, such faith is rooted in the acknowledging of the truth which results in godly living, distinguishing it from mere belief held by individuals who do not grasp the gravity of their condition before God. This experience underlines the relational aspect of faith as it relates to the elect.
