What role does faith play in being in Christ?

Faith in Christ is essential for being considered in Him. According to the message of Paul, the manifestation of faith is the evidence of being united with Christ. As expressed in 1 Corinthians 1:30, those who are in Christ Jesus are called to believe in Him. This belief is not a mere acknowledgment but a complete trust in what Christ has accomplished on our behalf. This faith acknowledges our inability to save ourselves and looks exclusively to Christ as our wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption.
