Why is faith in Christ essential according to the gospel?

Answered in 1 source

Faith in Christ is essential as it is the means by which we lay hold of the righteousness God provides.

Faith in Christ is not merely an acknowledgment of His existence, but it is the means by which the believer lays hold of the righteousness provided by God. Romans 3 emphasizes that righteousness comes apart from the law through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. This faith is a gift from God, enabling us to grasp the reality that our justification and sanctification rest entirely on Christ's obedience rather than our own works. The gospel assures us that believing in Christ grants us access to God's kingdom and the fullness of spiritual life, affirming that it is through faith alone that we are made righteous before God.
