Why is the promise of Christ important for believers?

Answered in 1 source

The promise of Christ is crucial because it provides the only means of righteousness for believers before a holy God.

In the context of Abram's experience of horror and darkness, the promise of Christ becomes an anchor of hope. In Genesis 15:6, we see that Abram believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness. This faith was not in his works but in God's promise of salvation through Christ. Believers today can find assurance in the truth that our acceptance before God is solely based on Christ's righteousness imputed to us, not our own merit. Through faith, we can derive comfort and hope, knowing that Christ has fulfilled all righteousness required for our redemption, thus making it possible for us to stand before God without fear.
