How do we know true faith is essential for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

True faith is essential for salvation as it is the means by which we are justified and accepted before God.

In historic Reformed theology, salvation is understood to be through faith alone, as articulated in Ephesians 2:8-9, which states that we are saved by grace through faith, not by works. This reflects the biblical truth that our justification before God is dependent on faith in Jesus Christ. True faith not only recognizes who God is but also embraces His promises and seeks a personal relationship with Him. Without this genuine faith, one cannot receive the grace needed for salvation, emphasizing the vital role of faith in the believer's life and assurance.
