Why is faith a gift from God?

Answered in 2 sources

Faith is a gift from God because it is not something we can produce in ourselves; it is a result of His divine drawing.

According to 1 Peter 2:6, the faith that allows individuals to believe in Christ is given by God; it is part of His sovereign grace. Ephesians 2:8-9 clarifies that faith itself is not from ourselves but is the gift of God, highlighting that this faith enables believers to trust in Christ for salvation. This understanding emphasizes human inability and God's initiative in saving sinners, showcasing that all glory belongs to Him. It is through God's drawing power that individuals are brought to faith, ensuring that no one can boast about their salvation, as it is entirely the work of God in their hearts.
