How do we know that faith in Christ leads to acceptance with God?

Answered in 1 source

Faith in Christ is the only way to receive God's blessing and acceptance as it fulfills God's righteous requirements.

The basis for our acceptance with God lies in our faith in Christ, who is our righteousness. As illustrated in Genesis 27, Jacob simply obeyed and received the blessing through his mother's instruction to act as Esau, who represents Christ. This typology signifies that when believers come to God, this is not based on their merits but through the merits of Christ. Romans 3:26 emphasizes that God can be both just and the justifier of those who have faith in Jesus, underlining the necessity of faith for acceptance.
