How does one trust in Christ for salvation?

To trust in Christ for salvation means to have faith in His completed work on the cross, recognizing Him as the Son of God who died for our sins and was resurrected for our justification. This act of faith is a gift from God, as affirmed in Ephesians 2:8-9, which emphasizes that it is by grace through faith that we are saved. By believing in Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we accept His righteousness as our own, enabling us to be reconciled with God. This lifelong trust in Jesus is essential for both our present walk and eternal assurance.
