Why is faith considered the work of God?

Answered in 2 sources

Faith is considered the work of God because it is a gift from Him, enabling us to believe in Christ for salvation.

Faith, according to Scripture, is divinely bestowed, making it a product of God's grace rather than human effort. Ephesians 2:8-9 clarifies that we are saved by grace through faith, and that faith itself is not of ourselves; it is the gift of God. This foundational truth teaches that true faith results from God’s sovereign work in the hearts of His elect, granting them not only the ability to believe but also the desire to seek Him. Thus, faith reflects God’s initiative and power, establishing it as part of His work in salvation instead of our own efforts.
