What role does “faith” play in being guarded?

1 Peter 1:5 (ESV)

5 who by God’s power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

It is by trusting God to keep his promises that the reborn person can complete the journey of life and receive the inheritance of the Promised Land. This trust necessarily comes complete with owning the perspective that comes with rebirth. See Hebrews 11:9–10, Hebrews 11:13, Hebrews 11:16, and Hebrews 11:27.
