The gift of faith is from God, but it is more specifically Christ’s human faith in the Father that He can share with us when His Spirit is within us, along with its accompanying peace and strength that He has from the Father.
Galatians 2:16 in the Catholic Douay Bible tells us: “But we know that that man is not justified by the works of the Law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ. Hence we also believe in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law; because by the works of the Law no man will be justified.”
Most newer translations of the Bible do not say ‘faith of Jesus Christ’ but ‘faith in Jesus Christ’. The faith of Christ is what justifies us. It is the fruit of the Spirit faith. This is the faith that we receive by our faith in Christ.
