How do we know that belief in Christ leads to salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Belief in Christ leads to salvation as affirmed in John 3:18, stating that 'he that believeth on him is not condemned.'

The essence of salvation lies in our belief in Christ. John 3:18 explicitly states, 'He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already.' This assertion underlines that belief in Christ is more than mere acknowledgment; it is trusting in Christ's finished work for redemption. Salvation is not achieved through personal merit or adherence to the law, but solely through faith in the doctrine of Christ. Therefore, when an individual places faith in Christ, they receive not only forgiveness of sins but also eternal life, thus moving from a state of condemnation to one of acceptance before God. This is central to the Reformed understanding of salvation by grace through faith.
