What does it mean to have faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Having faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ means relying on Him for salvation, acknowledging His righteousness as our own.

Faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ encompasses a reliance on Him as the sole means for salvation and an acknowledgment of His righteousness. In Acts 20:21, Paul preached repentance towards God and faith towards Jesus, suggesting that faith is not merely intellectual assent but an active trust in the redemptive work of Christ. This faith involves recognizing that His perfect obedience fulfills God’s law on our behalf. As believers, we must understand that we stand before God not in our righteousness, which is insufficient, but in the perfect righteousness of Jesus, as made clear in Romans 3:22, which states that righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. Thus, faith in Christ is the foundation of our salvation and our confidence before God.
