What role does faith play in our redemption?

Answered in 1 source

Faith is the means through which we receive and acknowledge the redemption Christ has accomplished for us.

While redemption is wholly a work of Christ, faith plays a critical role in our experience of this salvation. Ephesians 2:8-9 declares that we are saved by grace through faith, underscoring that our belief in Christ's finished work is how we access the benefits of redemption. This faith is not a mere intellectual agreement but a deep-seated trust and reliance on Christ as our Savior. It indicates an acknowledgment of our complete inability to redeem ourselves and a resting in the sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice. True faith results from the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit, producing in believers a desire to glorify God for the redemption secured through His Son.
