What role does faith play in receiving Christ's righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

Faith is the means by which we receive Christ's righteousness and salvation.

Faith is critical to receiving Christ's righteousness, as Ephesians 2:8-9 states that we are saved by grace through faith. This faith is not merely intellectual assent but a God-given trust that leads us to rest fully in Christ's achievements. Without the work of the Holy Spirit opening our hearts, we cannot believe. True faith acknowledges our inability to save ourselves and turns to Christ alone for righteousness, recognizing that our worthiness is rooted in Him, not in our works.
