How do we know that faith in Christ is effective?

Answered in 1 source

Faith in Christ is effective because it leads to a transformative relationship with Him, granting believers eternal life.

The effectiveness of faith in Christ lies in its ability to establish a living relationship between the believer and Jesus, the 'living stone' described in 1 Peter 2:4. This relationship is dynamic, involving continuous coming to Christ in faith, which is essential for spiritual growth. The assurance of salvation is found in the promise that those who believe will not be confounded, as stated in 1 Peter 2:6. Furthermore, Hebrews 7:25 reminds us that Christ, as our High Priest, is able to save to the uttermost all who draw near to God through Him. Thus, faith is validated by the new life it produces and the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit within the believer.
