We are justified by the faith OF Jesus Christ when we believe IN Jesus Christ and in what He did for us through His death, burial and resurrection.
Galatians 2:16 in the KJB says,
16 "Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified."
As believers we live by the faith OF the Son of God as we read, study, believe and obey His word rightly divided. God sanctifies and transforms us by His Spirit by faith in what God tells us in His word.
Gal 2:20 KJV -
20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Our faith grows as we read and study God's word rightly divided.
Rom 10:17 KJV -
17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
1Co 2:5 KJV -
5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
We are to die to self by exalting Christ. As believers, we are identified now with Christ because of His faithfulness.
We place our faith in His faithfulness.
Phl 3:9 KJV -
9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
2Co 5:17 KJV -
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
As we mature spiritually through the word, we become increasingly more conformed to His image.
Phl 3:10 KJV -
10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
To walk by FAITH take time daily to read, study, meditate upon, believe and obey God's word rightly divided.
