How do we know that faith in Christ is essential?

Answered in 1 source

Faith in Christ is essential as it is revealed in Scripture that no one can come to Him unless drawn by the Father.

In John 6:44, Jesus states, 'No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him,' highlighting the necessity of divine action for faith to occur. This underscores the Reformed view of total depravity, where individuals cannot come to God on their own. It emphasizes that faith in Christ is not a work we perform but a gift given by God's grace. The believer, therefore, recognizes the sovereignty of God in their salvation, relying wholly on His grace to believe.
