Why is believing in Christ's sufficiency important for Christians?
Answered in 1 source
Believing in Christ's sufficiency is vital because it ensures that our faith is placed solely in Him, who is our righteousness.
Christ is central to the faith of a believer, as all that we hope for in terms of righteousness comes from Him alone. Romans 3:22 explains that 'even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe.' This emphasizes that our standing before God relies entirely on Christ’s perfect work, not our own. The moment we look to ourselves for worthiness, we stray from the gospel's truth and undermine God’s grace. Therefore, the believer’s assurance hinges on recognizing that only through Christ's sufficiency are we deemed acceptable before God.
