What does it mean to trust in Christ?

To trust in Christ is to place one's complete faith in His finished work on the cross, acknowledging that we cannot achieve righteousness on our own. It is illustrated through Ruth's dependence on Boaz, who represents Christ. Ruth's plea for grace and acceptance in Boaz's field signifies the believer's posture of humility and dependence on Christ. The idea is encapsulated in Philippians 3:9, where Paul expresses a desire to be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own, but that which is through faith in Christ.
