What does the Bible say about believing in Christ?
Answered in 9 sources
The Bible teaches that belief in Christ is essential for salvation, as highlighted by Thomas's declaration of faith after seeing the risen Lord.
In John 20:24-29, Thomas famously doubts the resurrection of Jesus, declaring he will not believe unless he sees the wounds. When Jesus appears, He invites Thomas to touch His wounds, leading Thomas to declare, 'My Lord and my God!' (John 20:28). This interaction underscores the significance of faith — believing in Christ without needing physical proof is a blessing for all generations who will believe through the Word.
