Faith is ...

FAITH IS A GIFT OF GOD 

God Is the Source of Faith in Believers 

“For unto you it is given … to believe on Him” (Philippians 1:29). 

“For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God” (Ephesians 2:8-9). 
“According as God has dealt to every man the measure of faith” (Romans 12:3). 



God Is Also the Source of the Current Unbelief in Unbelievers 

“Therefore has He mercy on whom He will have mercy, and whom He will He hardens” (Romans 9:18). 
“God has given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear” (Romans 11:8). 
“For God has concluded them all in unbelief, that He might have mercy upon all” (Romans 11:32). 

God Will Also Be the Source of Faith in Everyone One Day 

“… He has given faith unto all men…” (Acts 17:31). 
“That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow … and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:10-11); and “No man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Spirit” (I Corinthians 12:3).
