Why is Christ's faith important for Christians?

Answered in 2 sources

Christ's faith is the foundation of our justification and the source of our ongoing spiritual life (Galatians 2:20).

Christ's faith holds paramount importance in the life of a believer because it is through His perfect faith and righteousness that we are justified before God. Galatians 2:20 describes this relationship: "I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me." This means that not only are we justified by His faith, but our entire Christian life is sustained by it. Believers are called to rely not on their own strength but on the faith and grace exemplified by Christ, which fuels growth in sanctification and spiritual vitality. Thus, recognizing Christ's faith allows us to live in freedom from the law, focusing instead on the relationship we have with Him, which is rooted in love and grace.
