How does faith relate to our spiritual life?

Faith is integral to the believer's spiritual life as it allows us to receive Christ and His gifts of grace and righteousness. According to Colossians 2:6-7, just as we have received Christ by faith, we are called to walk in Him. This faith is not merely intellectual assent but an active trust that He is our all in all. It is through this faith that we come to know our completeness in Him, which fosters a deeper relationship with God and empowers us to live in newness of life, free from the old covenant law. Therefore, it is through faith that we connect with Christ and grow in His likeness.
