What does it mean to believe in Christ according to the gospel?

Answered in 1 source

Believing in Christ means trusting in Him alone for salvation and acknowledging His work on the cross (Romans 10:9).

Belief in Christ, as outlined in the gospel, involves a complete trust in His person and His work of salvation. Romans 10:9 states, 'That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.' This confession signifies an acknowledgment of Jesus as Lord and reliance on His redemptive work. Such faith is not merely intellectual assent but a heartfelt trust in Christ's ability to save us, recognizing that apart from Him, we can do nothing (John 15:5). It involves a surrender to Him, turning from our own works and trusting fully in Him for righteousness.
