What role does faith play in the process of redemption?

Answered in 1 source

Faith is the means through which we receive the blessings of redemption provided by Christ.

In the context of redemption, faith is not a work that we perform to earn salvation; rather, it is the channel through which God's grace flows to us. Galatians 3:14 highlights that we receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. This means that once Christ has accomplished redemption, faith is the vehicle by which we lay hold of the benefits of His sacrifice. Believers are granted the ability to believe as a gift of grace, thus realizing their state of salvation. It is crucial to grasp that our faith does not make Christ's redemptive act effective, but is a response to the grace that has already been bestowed upon us.
