Why is faith necessary for understanding the work of Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Faith is necessary because understanding the work of Christ transcends human wisdom and comprehension.

Understanding the work of Christ, particularly His death and resurrection, requires faith because these events exceed human comprehension. The Apostle Paul highlights in 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 that the wisdom of God appears as foolishness to those who are perishing, while to believers, it is the power of God. Human reasoning struggles to grasp the profound mystery of God incarnate and the idea of salvation through a crucified Messiah. It is by faith that believers recognize the significance of these events, embracing the truth that Christ is sufficient for salvation and understanding the realities of grace.
