Faith begins with & is worthless without, Christ's Faith as the foundation:
Heb 12: Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
(MY NOTE: Christ is the author/beginning & finisher/end of all faith)
The victory over sin & death is won by: Christ's faithful & obedient works & resurrection & our faith placed in them.
1 Jn 5:
4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

(MY NOTE: We overcome sin & death, thru faith placed in Christ's redemptive work)

(MY NOTE: The Faith "OF" Christ)

(MY NOTE: It's the Faith "OF" Christ & thru the righteousness of Christ's obedient works. That when we place our faith in Him & His work. Christ becomes the Lord our righteousness (Jer 23:6 & 33:16). And God judicially justifies us ="Declares us Righteous in His sight)

(MY NOTE: From Faith to Faith. That's our Faith placed in Him/His faithful & obedient sacrificial work & resurrection)

Acts 26:18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by "faith that is in me".

While the Temple was operating High Priest had authority to impute/transfer the peoples sin onto the chosen sacrifice (Lev 16:21). Christ our Great High Priest (Heb 4:14-15) has the power/authority to impute sin & righteousness.
We access Gods Grace thru Faith (Rom 5:2) placed in Christ's finished redemptive sin atoning work:
Found in Christ's death (sins required wage PAID), burial (proof he died) & resurrection (God's receipt, sins payment received & accepted).
Then our Great High Priest (Heb 4:14-15) imputes/transfers our sins onto Himself, then, imputes/transfers His righteousness onto us. See Lev 4:22,24,27,29,31,32,33,35 & Lev 16:21, Gal 3 & Rom 4 for additional context.

31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
All the credit, glory & honor belongs to our great God & Savior. Jesus the faithful & obedient Christ. Amen
