Faith a Gift
Carol, I think this scripture in Eph2 is often used to show that even our faith in God is a gift from God.
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-- not by works, so that no one can boast. (NIV)
In the ESV translation, that meaning is not so clear (I don't think):
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
But I still think faith is a gift from God (in 1Cor12, speaking of spiritual gifts "to another faith by the same Spirit"). What are other proof texts for faith being gifted?
