What happens if we believe in vain?

Answered in 1 source

Believing in vain means placing faith in something other than Christ's work, which nullifies genuine salvation.

To believe in vain is to have faith that does not rest upon a solid foundation, which, according to Paul, can lead a person to believe a false gospel (1 Corinthians 15:17). Such a faith might rely on personal effort, sincerity, or a profession of belief rather than the decisive acts of Christ. This misunderstanding results in a faith that ultimately does not save. It is essential for believers to examine the foundation of their faith; true faith must be anchored in Christ and His finished work, assuring that they are not aiming for a hope that is empty or unfounded. Christians are called to ensure their faith is not vain by clinging to the indisputable facts of the gospel.
