What does it mean to look to Christ by faith?

Answered in 1 source

To look to Christ by faith means to acknowledge His reality, accept His role as Savior, and continually trust in Him for salvation.

Looking to Christ by faith involves a multifaceted engagement with His person and work. First, it signifies admitting His reality as the living God and our Redeemer. Hebrews 11:6 states that without faith, it is impossible to please God, and thus, recognizing Christ as a real and present savior is foundational. Second, it requires an acknowledgment that salvation and justification come solely through Him, not through works or personal merit (1 Timothy 1:9). Finally, to look by faith is to actively call upon Him, demonstrating a heartfelt reliance on His grace and mercy. This posture of faith is not static but involves an ongoing response to Christ, encompassing a life lived in trusting obedience and heartfelt devotion.
