I am not justified by my faith, but Christ's faith the moment I believe.
Galatians 2:16, "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."
Galatians 2:20, "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."
Philippians 3:9, "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:"
My righteousness comes through the faith of Christ, not my personal faith I try to live out everyday. If that were the case, we all would fall woefully short.

The question for me is the translation wrong faith is in Christ or faith is of Christ? The problem with going between languages etc. is meaning can be changed. Whatever people have faith in, it is still their faith. If the subject is peoples faith, then that has to create a result. If the faith of Jesus in God brought forgiveness to the believer, then that is enough.
