How does justification relate to faith?

Answered in 2 sources

Justification is received by faith, which is the means through which we comprehend and embrace God's declaration of righteousness.

While justification is not based on faith as a work, it is through faith that believers receive assurance of their justified status. Ephesians 2:8-9 illustrates that faith itself is a gift from God, not a result of our efforts. Justification by faith, as expounded in Romans 4:16, supports the understanding that faith is solely the instrument through which we perceive and experience our justification. This relationship upholds that while we are justified freely by grace, it is faith that enables us to realize and accept that justification, ensuring it remains grounded in God's sovereign grace.
