What is the role of faith in salvation according to Romans 9?

Answered in 1 source

Faith is a response to God's mercy; it is not a precondition for election but a result of God's sovereign work.

In Romans 9, Paul clarifies that salvation is based not on human effort or faith but on God's election and mercy. Faith is the means by which believers receive God's grace, but it is rooted in God's initiative to choose and save (Romans 9:30-33). The faith that leads to salvation is a work of God, who transforms hearts and enables belief. This underscores the idea that salvation is a divine work from beginning to end, ensuring that all glory is directed toward God rather than human merit.
