What does it mean to have a 'warrant to believe'?

Answered in 1 source

A warrant to believe means having the right or basis to trust in Christ for salvation.

The term 'warrant to believe' refers to the assurance and basis given to individuals to trust in Christ's saving power. In Mark 5, Jesus assures Jairus to 'be not afraid, only believe,' which serves as a foundational verse for this concept. It illustrates that despite personal shortcomings or the evidence of hopelessness, Jesus invites us to place our faith in Him. This warrant is rooted in the promises made by God throughout Scripture, emphasizing that everyone who believes in Christ will be saved. Thus, it encourages sinners to come boldly to Christ, with the understanding that He has provided everything necessary for their redemption.
