What does the Bible say about believing only in Jesus for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible emphasizes that salvation is through faith alone in Jesus Christ, without any conditions or works (Ephesians 2:8-9).

Scripture teaches that salvation is entirely by grace through faith, which is not earned by any works but is a gift from God. Ephesians 2:8-9 declares, 'For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.' This means that belief in Christ alone, without the addition of human effort, is essential for salvation. The narrative of Jairus in Luke 8 exemplifies this principle, as Jesus instructs him to 'believe only' for his daughter's healing, illustrating the pure reliance on Christ's authority rather than any personal merit.
