What does the Bible say about faith that does not save?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that faith that does not save is based on sight, lacks perseverance, and is not rooted in a love for God.

In John 2:23-25, many believed in Jesus because of the miracles He performed, but Jesus did not commit Himself to them. This indicates their faith was not saving faith, as it was based solely on what they saw rather than a true understanding of who Jesus is. Saving faith is distinct in that it endures and is more than mere belief in miracles; it is anchored in a personal relationship with Christ that involves love and commitment.
