What does the Bible say about obtaining faith?

According to 2 Peter 1:1, faith is described as 'like precious faith' that believers obtain through the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ. This acquisition of faith is not based on human effort or merit; rather, it is a gift from God bestowed upon those He has chosen. Peter emphasizes that faith is a gracious gift from God, and it implies a deep reliance on Christ's redemptive work, making it accessible to all, regardless of societal status or personal achievement, for no one can acquire it through their own deeds.
