Why is belief in Christ's finished work important?
Answered in 1 source
Believing in Christ's finished work is essential for justification and peace with God, as it recognizes His sacrifice as sufficient for our salvation.
The importance of belief in Christ's finished work is foundational to Christian faith. As highlighted in the sermon, we are justified by faith in the completed work of Jesus Christ alone (Acts 13:39). This belief signifies not only an acknowledgment of Christ’s sacrifice but also a deep trust in His ability to save. The essence of the gospel is that we are 'restored and redeemed by His blood,' which ensures our justification from all things. When we truly grasp that our righteousness is derived from Christ alone, it brings us peace with God, as stated in Isaiah 26:3, that He 'will keep in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on' Him.
