Why is faith important in Christian salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Faith is vital because it is a gift from God that manifests the work of the Spirit in believers.

Faith is not merely an act of human will but is itself a divine gift bestowed by God according to His sovereign purpose. This belief is rooted in the understanding that saving faith comes from God’s merciful provision, as Ephesians 2:8-9 states that we are saved by grace through faith, not of ourselves. This underscores the Reformed view that faith is a necessary response to God’s call, showcasing the transformative work of the Holy Spirit in the believer's life. Without faith, it is impossible to please God or to partake in the salvation He offers through Christ.
