How does faith connect us to Christ's grace?

Answered in 1 source

Faith acts as the vessel through which believers receive Christ's grace and sustenance.

In the context of the sermon, faith is likened to an earthen vessel that holds the water of grace. Just as a cup does not quench thirst on its own, faith must connect to the source, which is Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:8 highlights that we are saved by grace through faith, not of ourselves. This means that faith is essential; it acknowledges that Christ’s works alone are sufficient for salvation. When believers throw themselves upon Christ in faith, they are assured of His grace washing over them and sustaining them through trials. Thus, faith does not add to Christ's work but rather embraces it, allowing one to partake in the blessings of redemption.
