What does it mean to have one faith?

Answered in 2 sources

Having one faith means trusting in the same object of our faith, Jesus Christ, as the sole means of salvation for all believers.

In the context of Ephesians 4:5, one faith signifies that all believers trust in the same Lord Jesus Christ for their salvation. This faith is not a mere intellectual assent but a heartfelt reliance on Christ's finished work. It is a gift from God bestowed upon His elect, as indicated in Philippians 1:29. The unity of faith is crucial; it binds believers together, regardless of their backgrounds, around the central truth of the Gospel. Without this common faith, the body of Christ would be fragmented, but in Christ, believers are united in their belief and reliance on Him.
