How do we know that faith in Christ is true and necessary for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Faith in Christ is affirmed by Scripture as a gift from God and the only means by which we can please Him.

According to Ephesians 2:8-9, faith is described as a gift from God, emphasizing that our salvation is not based on our works but solely on His grace. Romans 10:17 teaches that 'faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ,' indicating that true faith is rooted in the revelation of God's Word. The historic Reformed perspective underscores that while our faith is necessary for salvation, it is ultimately Christ's faithfulness that establishes our standing before God. Thus, our assurance of salvation is not based on our own faith, but on the complete work of Christ.
