coming to faith
Embracing religious belief
Coming to faith describes the process of adopting religious belief, especially Christianity.
The phrase implies a journey or arrival—faith as a destination one reaches rather than a decision one makes.
It often suggests gradual transformation rather than sudden conversion: After years of skepticism, she finally came to faith.
The expression is most common in evangelical contexts.
