Faith is the means by which we receive and experience the redemption accomplished by Christ.
Faith plays a critical role in experiencing redemption; it is the response to the truth of what Christ has accomplished through His death and resurrection. Redemption is secured by the blood of Christ, but it is through faith that we receive and enter into this reality. Galatians 3:24 illustrates that the law served as a schoolmaster to bring us to Christ so that we might be justified by faith. Therefore, while redemption lays the foundation for salvation, faith is the vehicle through which we acknowledge and embrace this reality in our lives, leading us to the full experience of our adoption as sons.
