How do we know faith in Christ is essential to salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Faith in Christ is essential for salvation as Jesus teaches that unless one believes, they are condemned already (John 3:18).

The necessity of faith in Christ for salvation is clearly articulated in John 3:18, where Jesus states, 'He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already.' This indicates that belief in Jesus is not merely an act of will but a divinely ordained necessity rooted in our understanding of our sinfulness and God's grace. Without faith, we remain under condemnation; therefore, faith in Christ is indispensable for receiving the new life that He offers, which is intrinsically linked to being born again and accepting His atonement.
