What does the Bible say about faith not being a choice?

Answered in 1 source

Faith is not a choice; it is believing in what is true without any alternatives.

The Bible teaches that faith is not a choice but rather a response to the truth that God reveals. In the sermon, it is stated that we do not choose to believe; rather, we find ourselves believing when confronted with divine truth. Unbelief, on the other hand, is a choice made in rejecting that truth. This aligns with what Christ said: 'I am the way, the truth, and the life' (John 14:6), indicating that belief is grounded in the reality of who Jesus is, not in a decision we make among options. Thus, faith arises from understanding and experiencing the truth of the gospel, rather than from our own volition.
