Faith is a gift from God that enables believers to accept the truth of the gospel and attain salvation.
In the context of salvation, faith is seen not as a work of human effort but as an unmerited gift from God. Ephesians 2:8-9 explains that it is by grace we have been saved through faith, and this is not from ourselves; it is the gift of God. Furthermore, in 2 Thessalonians 2:13, Paul emphasizes that believers are chosen for salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief in the truth. Therefore, faith is intrinsically linked to God's sovereign work in redeeming His people, leading them to acknowledge the truth found in Christ.
