How do we put our faith and trust in Christ?

Placing faith in Christ involves recognizing Him as the only righteous one capable of saving us from our sins. The gospel calls us to believe that He is the Son of God who died for our transgressions and was resurrected for our justification. This faith is evidenced by trusting in His promises and acknowledging our total reliance on Him for salvation, as described in Romans 10:9 and Hebrews 11:6. True faith leads us to a life characterized by dependence on Christ and His righteousness, rather than our own works or merits.
