What does the Bible teach about the nature of faith and repentance?

Answered in 1 source

Faith and repentance are gifts from God that come through the Holy Spirit, leading to salvation.

Scripture clearly teaches that both faith and repentance are not merely human acts but divine gifts given through the Holy Spirit. Acts 11:18 and 2 Timothy 2:25 highlight this truth, indicating that those who are granted repentance have been turned by God. Repentance is not a precondition for salvation but a result of God’s grace, reflecting a transformation in the heart. As John 6:44 states, no one can come to Christ unless drawn by the Father. This relationship between faith and repentance is integral to understanding one's salvation experience in the Reformed tradition.
