Where does faith come from according to the Bible?

Answered in 2 sources

Faith comes from God, as outlined in Ephesians 2:8 and Romans 10:17, which states that faith is a gift and comes from hearing the Word of God.

According to Scripture, faith originates from God. Ephesians 2:8 explains that by grace we are saved through faith, and this faith is a gift from God. This means that it is not something that we can produce or muster on our own; rather, it is a divine enabling. In Romans 10:17, we see that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. This indicates that the knowledge of God and His promises, revealed through Scripture, is essential for cultivating genuine faith in the hearts of believers. Thus, the entire process of believing relies firmly on the sovereign work of God.
