The Holy Spirit imparts or gives Faith !
Faith is the connection between the soul and Christ, which connection is made by the Holy Spirit by means of regeneration and the effectual call. The various steps of the outworking of God's Eternal Purpose are seen in Rom 8:29-30, with the application of redemption beginning with the effectual call of the Spirit, by which the elect are brought from a state of nature into a state of Grace, or from darkness into light, or is passed from death unto life. The Two biggest falsehoods in religion today regarding salvation by Faith, is to teach that fallen, spiritually dead sinner is capable of it, that it is an act of mans freewill, and this delusion has slayed its millions. A Dead man cannot believe, for to believe in Christ as to salvation is the result and fruit of life having been communicated to the soul, see Jn 6:44; Eph 1:19 which is accomplished by the Holy Ghosts regeneration; It should be noted that Jn 1:12 is explained by Jn 1:13 and Jn 3:15-16 are preceded by Jn 3:3-7, so those being born again to believe 1 Jn 5:1. Another error is separating the Spirits communication of Faith from the direct results of Christ cross work. Why do we believe and walk by Faith? Because we are made righteous by the obedience of one Rom 5:19.

Faith is the connection between the soul and Christ established by the regeneration of the HS when a sinner cooperates with God’s eternal calling or purpose (cited in RM 8:29-30) and is transformed from a fallen state or darkness/death into a state of grace/light/life. Scriptural teachings regarding volition do not mean that sinners are capable of saving themselves. Without divine enabling, souls cannot seek salvation and believe in Christ.
As Jesus said in JN 6:44a, “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him.” And JN 1:12-13 says, “To all who received him (to those who believed in his name), he gave the right to become children of God—children born not of genetic descent, but born of God.” Again, JN 3:3-16 says God so loved the world that He gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him or is reborn of the Spirit shall not perish at death but have eternal life (cf. 1JN 5:1), because we are made righteous by the obedience of our Lord Jesus Christ (RM 5:1&19).
