Faith is the gift from God...when we are Born from Above...without faith that God gives us when Spirit gives birth to spirit.....then we know God through the testifying with our spirit that we are His children.
Only the Holy Spirit can do the will of the Father.....Born from above....is an Act of God and NO other....it’s the Holy Spirit that testifies with our spirit.
Faith does not come from man....it comes from God and it’s a faith that is Alive!!....the Holy Spirit is Alive in His children hearts...my testimony and belief...
Eph.2
[
1] And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
[
2] Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
[
3] Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
[
4] But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
[
5] Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
[
6] And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
[
7] That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
[
8] For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
[
9] Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Hence “ Spirit gives birth to spirit “....he births our spirit into his....the carnal mind could NEVER understand this....
We are saved from eternal damnation the minute or second we are Born of God....
