How do we know that faith towards God is essential for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Faith towards God is essential as it recognizes Him as the covenant God, fulfilled in Christ, who alone brings salvation (Hebrews 6:1).

In the sermon, it is explained that the Hebrews believed their lineage made them true sons of God, based on their descent from Abraham and adherence to the law. However, Paul clarifies that salvation is through faith toward God, which is anchored in Christ alone. This faith is not a mere belief in a traditional understanding of God but recognizes God as a covenantal being who has fulfilled His promises through Jesus Christ. The essentiality of faith toward God is reinforced by teachings throughout Scripture that underscore the reality that no one comes to the Father except through Christ. Therefore, true faith must always be directed toward God as He has revealed Himself through Christ.
