To properly understand Ephesians 2 one must have an accurate definition of faith. The bible describes faith as:
1) A gift of God (Eph 2:8-9, Phil 1:29) 2) Not given to all (II Thes 3:2) 3) A fruit of the Spirit (Gal 5:22) 4) An evidence of things not seen (Heb 11:1) such as: a) regeneration (Gal 4:6) b) sonship/election (Gal 4:6)
When God's people see faith as founded on the footing of regeneration, and regeneration on the footing of sonship/election (Gal 4:6) they enter into an understanding of the plan of salvation that provides great assurance by identifying their salvation with the grace and mercy of God and as part of a covenant that is ordered in all things and sure.
