What role does faith play in sovereign grace?

Answered in 1 source

Faith is a gift from God that arises after sovereign grace has been bestowed, enabling belief and trust in Christ.

In the context of sovereign grace, faith is not a prerequisite but rather a result of being quickened by God. As indicated in Ephesians 2:8, faith itself is also described as a gift from God, meaning that no one can come to faith without first receiving spiritual life through sovereign grace. John 1:13 reinforces that spiritual rebirth is not determined by human will but is accomplished by God. Therefore, true faith arises from the spiritual transformation that sovereign grace initiates in the believer's heart.
