What role does faith play in making peace with God?

Answered in 1 source

Faith is essential for making peace with God, as it is by believing in Christ that we receive God's righteousness.

Faith is the instrument through which individuals appropriate the peace that God has established through Christ. Isaiah points to a time when the Lord reveals faith to our hearts, enabling us to recognize and accept His righteousness provided in Jesus. This faith is not self-generated; it is a gift from God that opens our eyes to our need for Christ and leads us to rest in His finished work. Thus, our faith is not in our own efforts but is a confident trust in Christ as our Savior, allowing us to experience the peace of God that surpasses all understanding and to live accordingly as His redeemed people.
