What is the nature of true faith?

Answered in 1 source

True faith is a supernatural work of God, undergirded by belief in God's promises.

True faith is not simply an act of human will or intellectual assent; it is a supernatural work of God, as affirmed in John 1:13, where it states that believers are born 'not of blood, nor of the will of flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.' This divine initiative is crucial for understanding faith's nature. It involves a heart transformation through the Holy Spirit, leading to a deep conviction of God's truth and promises. Hebrews 11:6 reiterates the necessity of believing that God exists and rewards those who seek Him, reinforcing the comprehensive nature of faith.
