What does it mean to come to Christ in faith?

Answered in 1 source

Coming to Christ in faith means trusting Him alone for salvation without offering our own righteousness.

Coming to Christ in faith entails a complete reliance on Him for our salvation, recognizing that we have no righteousness of our own to present. The faith we possess is not a work we do, but a gift from God that enables us to grasp the sufficiency of Christ's atoning sacrifice. Hebrews 11:6 states, 'But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.' This faith is rooted in understanding our sinful state and the perfect righteousness found solely in Jesus. Thus, genuine faith lays aside all trust in personal merit and approaches Christ as 'unclean,' relying solely on His mercy and grace.
