What does it mean to be in the faith?

Answered in 1 source

Being in the faith means having genuine belief in the gospel of Christ as the basis for salvation.

To be in the faith, as Paul indicates in 2 Corinthians 13:5, involves holding a true understanding of the gospel. It is not merely about possessing a certain amount of faith but about believing in the correct object of faith—Jesus Christ. It means acknowledging that our salvation hinges on His righteousness rather than our own. The faith is a comprehensive doctrine that encompasses the truth of God's redemptive plan fulfilled in Christ, and abiding in this faith leads to genuine assurance and a transformed life.
