Matthew 16:15-17
"He said to them, 'But who do you say that I am?' Simon Peter replied, 'You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.' And Jesus answered him, 'Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.'"
🔹 Peter’s faith and confession of Christ were not from his own understanding but were revealed to him by God.
All these verses reinforce that faith is not something we earn or produce—it is a divine gift given by God's grace.
