How do we know salvation is not just knowing about God?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is more than knowledge; it is a personal relationship with Christ.

Salvation is not merely intellectual assent or knowledge about God; it is about knowing Christ intimately, as seen in John 17:3. Many people may have knowledge of biblical truths yet lack a genuine relationship with Him. The relationship entails being regenerated by the Holy Spirit, which leads to a transformation of the heart and a commitment to live under His lordship. This understanding emphasizes that true faith is rooted in a personal experience of grace, which is essential for genuine salvation.
