How do we know that faith is required for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

The necessity of faith for salvation is affirmed throughout the Scriptures, particularly in the New Testament.

Faith is a central component of salvation as indicated in various Scripture passages. In Romans 10:17, it is stated that 'faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God,' showing that belief is tied to the reception of the Gospel. Additionally, the Apostle Paul explicates in Ephesians 2:8-9 that we are saved by grace through faith, emphasizing that it is not of ourselves, but a gift from God. The focus on faith as a requirement reveals the dependence of the sinner on God's grace rather than on their own works.
