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

Answered in 2 sources

Faith acknowledges and receives Christ's sacrifice, understanding its significance for salvation (Ephesians 2:8-9).

Faith is fundamentally the means by which believers receive the benefits of Christ's sacrifice. According to Ephesians 2:8-9, we are saved by grace through faith, not by our works. This indicates that it is through a God-given belief that we recognize and accept the sufficiency of Christ's death for our sins. Faith is not merely intellectual assent but trust in Christ, manifested through an acknowledgment of our need for Him. In partaking of the 'Passover' lamb, believers are to embrace Christ wholeheartedly, taking Him in as He is offered—not just understanding the historical facts of His death, but resting in His work for personal salvation.
