What is the relationship between faith and Christ in sovereign grace theology?

Answered in 1 source

Faith is not a contributing factor but is a result of God's grace through Christ alone.

In sovereign grace theology, faith is understood as a gift from God, not a work attributable to human effort. It allows individuals to receive and rest in the grace of Christ, who is the sole object of faith. The believer's faith signifies reliance on Christ’s finished work rather than their own righteousness. Thus, we affirm that our faith aligns with Christ’s perfect merit, highlighting that redemption is entirely God's doing, rooted in His sovereign grace.
