How do we know faith in Christ is enough for salvation?

Answered in 4 sources

Faith in Christ is sufficient for salvation, as it is through Him that we receive God's grace, exemplified in the thief's confession.

The assurance that faith in Christ is sufficient for salvation comes directly from the Gospel narratives, particularly in Luke 23:43, where Jesus tells the thief on the cross that he will be with Him in paradise. This exemplifies that faith, even in a desperate moment, is rewarded with eternal life. This is significant because it removes the notion that a certain amount of faith or good deeds is required for salvation; rather, it is God's grace that saves us through faith (Titus 3:5). We see that the thief's belief—that Jesus was indeed who He claimed to be—granted him immediate assurance and forgiveness, illustrating the depth of God's mercy and the transformative power of faith.
