True faith is the Lord's connection to the believer, and its power does not come from human effort or the amount of belief, but from the Holy Spirit. The primary work of faith is not just to make one "well," but to save them for eternity. Faith provides direct access to God, eliminating the need for any go-between. It is the sole requirement for a relationship with Him, granting full, unconditional forgiveness of all sins and making the believer part of His people. Through faith alone, believers are tied to Christ's journey—dying to sin and being raised—ensuring that their faith will blossom into eternal life.
