When does a sinner receive faith according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

A sinner receives faith when God calls them and grants the ability to believe in Christ.

The Bible teaches that faith is a gift from God, bestowed upon the sinner when they are called to believe in Christ. Romans 8:30 mentions that those whom God predestined are also called, and this calling brings knowledge of the truth and a response to it. As noted in 2 Thessalonians 2:13, when one receives the word of God and believes it, faith operates effectively within them. Therefore, it is through God's initiative that one is enabled to respond in faith, underscoring the grace that underlies salvation.
