How does faith in Christ lead to obedience?

Answered in 1 source

Faith in Christ naturally results in obedience as believers submit to Him as Lord.

In the context of sovereign grace theology, genuine faith in Christ translates into a heart of obedience. The understanding that Christ is Lord necessitates that believers yield to His authority and live in a manner that reflects their faith. The evidence of true faith is demonstrated through obedience to His commandments, as expressed in Romans 6:17, where believers are said to have obeyed from the heart the doctrine of Christ. Such obedience is not legalistic but a joyful response to the grace received in Christ; it reveals the transformative work of the Holy Spirit in their lives. Believers recognize the futility of relying on their righteousness and instead embrace Christ's righteousness, leading to a life reflecting His will.
