In this Q&A, Pastor Mike explains whether faith itself is a gift from God or if only grace is the gift mentioned in Ephesians 2:8–9. He walks through the context of being “dead in sin,” the role of the Holy Spirit in conviction, and how repentance and faith work together in salvation. Pastor Mike also brings in key supporting passages like Acts 11:18 and John 1 to show that saving repentance and faith are granted by God, not generated by human effort. This teaching brings clarity to a common theological question while keeping the focus on God’s grace from beginning to end.
