Why is faith in Christ considered a miracle of grace?

Answered in 1 source

Faith in Christ is a miracle of grace because it is not produced by human effort but granted by God.

Faith is considered a miracle of grace because it arises from God's sovereign initiative rather than human will. Ephesians 2:8-9 states, 'For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.' This highlights that faith itself is a divine gift, an act of God's grace that enables individuals to believe in the gospel. This divine intervention is necessary because, in our natural state, we are spiritually blind and resistant to God. Thus, when someone comes to believe in Christ, it is a testament to God's amazing grace, showcasing His love and power to transform lives that were once enthralled by sin. Such faith is precious to believers as it connects them directly to their Savior.
