What does the Bible say about the relationship between faith and salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Faith is the manifestation and evidence of salvation, not the cause of it.

The Bible teaches that faith is not the cause of salvation but rather the consequence of having been saved. In John 3:18, we see that belief in Christ signifies that one is not condemned, indicating that faith is the evidence of a work that God has already accomplished. The term 'believeth' used in this context suggests a present, ongoing action; it reflects a continuous state of being, which is evidence of spiritual life given by God. Therefore, faith is the manifestation of our justification and assurance of peace with God, not a condition for salvation itself.
