How do we know faith is vital for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Faith is vital for Christians as it is through faith that we are born again and receive eternal life.

Faith is essential for Christians as it is the means by which we are justified and saved. The Apostle John states that 'whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world' (1 John 5:4), indicating that true faith is a divine gift that empowers the believer to resist the world and its temptations. Relying on one's works leads to spiritual failure; hence, through faith, we recognize that our righteousness comes solely from Christ, not from our efforts. This reliance on Christ allows believers to lay hold of eternal life and manifest the fruits of the Spirit, displaying genuine faith through actions that resonate with love and obedience to God.
