How do repentance and faith relate to salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Repentance and faith are essential responses to God's grace, enabling believers to embrace Christ for their salvation.

Repentance, defined as turning from our sinful ways, and faith, which is trusting in Christ, are integral to the salvation experience. The act of repentance acknowledges our inability to save ourselves, while faith embraces the sufficiency of Christ's work on our behalf. As emphasized in the sermon, these two responses are not based on our merit but result from God's sovereign grace at work in our hearts. By truly repenting and placing our faith in Christ, we participate in the perfect and just weight that God requires for salvation, as all of our righteousness is found in Him alone. This dynamic relationship fosters a genuine, transformative faith that drives us towards holiness.
