How do we know that real faith is necessary for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Real faith is necessary for salvation as it is through belief and trust in Christ that one receives eternal life.

The necessity of real faith for salvation is rooted in Scripture, as seen prominently in the teachings of both Jude and other New Testament writings. Jude emphasizes the anticipation of the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life, indicating that without genuine faith, one cannot hope for salvation. Moreover, faith is intrinsically linked with repentance and the acknowledgment of one's sinfulness. The biblical narrative consistently portrays belief as an active trust in God’s promises, which ultimately leads to eternal life. Unbelief, in contrast, is seen as the root of sin and condemnation, underscoring the critical role of faith.
