Why is faith in Christ's finished work important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Faith in Christ's finished work is crucial because it ensures that salvation is based on His righteousness, not our own.

Faith in Christ's finished work is vital for Christians as it establishes the groundwork for genuine faith. Paul teaches that true faith is not based on human attempts or free will but rests upon the completed work of Christ (Ephesians 2:8-9). When believers place their faith in what Christ has accomplished through His death and resurrection, they acknowledge that their salvation is wholly dependent on Him. This perspective guards against vain faith, which can be rooted in anything other than Christ's sufficiency. Faith that acknowledges Christ's finished work is the only faith that can save, providing believers assurance and a solid foundation for their hope and life in Christ.
