God, having in past eternity determined that certain persons should be saved, merely bestows faith on these persons in the course of time out of His own good pleasure. The determination of save some The choice of a holy God to save some was a freely made choice. God was not morally bound to save any. He is free to show love or mercy to anyone he chooses, but he is not obligated to do so. Yet once this is said it does not follow that because God determined to save some that he is also able to freely give faith to anyone he chooses apart from that faith being purchased by Jesus Christ for them on the cross.
Faith is a part of salvation.
It cannot be just be given, it must be purchased.
