What does it mean to believe on the name of Jesus as commanded by God?

Answered in 1 source

To believe on the name of Jesus means to trust in his character, authority, and the salvation he provides as commanded by God.

Believing on the name of Jesus encompasses trusting in his person and work. The commandment from God is to have faith in the entirety of who Jesus is—the Son of God, the one sent for humanity’s redemption. This belief involves acknowledging that salvation is found in him alone, as well as actively loving others in response to the love God has shown through Christ. This overarching command is rooted in divine authority and is essential for fulfilling the Christian life, as it's through this belief that one receives eternal life. Thus, the command is both a call to trust in God’s redemptive plan and to embody that love toward others.
