What is required to appropriate the redemption Christ paid for everyone?

Appropriating the redemption Christ paid for everyone requires faith. Although Christ paid the price for every human being's sin, the context states you cannot appropriate it until faith comes into the picture. Romans 3:25 ties propitiation to faith in His blood, the redemptive price.

Les explains that Christ paid the redemption price for the whole human race, indeed for all people, because when He died He paid the price for every human being's sin. However, Les teaches that this payment cannot be appropriated until faith comes into the picture. In Romans chapter 3, Christ Jesus is set forth as a propitiation through faith in His blood. The blood is emphasized because it is the price of redemption, and without the shedding of blood there is no remission. Had Christ not shed His blood, the redemption price would never have been paid.
