Why is it significant that faith is a gift from God?

Answered in 1 source

Faith is a gift from God, signifying that salvation is initiated by His grace and not by human effort.

The sermon emphasizes that faith is not something that originates within us; it is given by God as part of His sovereign grace. Ephesians 2:8-9 teaches that we are saved by grace through faith, and this faith itself is a gift from God. Understanding faith as a divine gift reinforces the idea that salvation is entirely dependent on God’s will and purpose, rather than human initiative. This underscores the belief that our faith is the result of the atoning work of Christ, making it impossible for true believers to ultimately fall away from their salvation, as their faith is secured by God's grace.
