Why is faith important in receiving the gospel?

Answered in 1 source

Faith is crucial because without it, salvation cannot be by grace.

According to Romans 4:16, salvation must be received by faith so it can be by grace. If salvation depended on our works, we could boast about it. Paul clarifies that true salvation is grounded in God's grace, which is accessed through faith. This means that every believer must recognize that they are justified not by their own efforts but solely through faith in Jesus Christ. This foundational truth underscores the sovereign grace that defines the gospel message.
