What is saving faith and how does it relate to believing Jesus is the Son of God?

Answered in 1 source

Saving faith involves believing that Jesus is the Son of God and that His sacrificial death is sufficient for salvation.

Saving faith is not merely an intellectual assent but a deep trust in the person of Jesus Christ as the Son of God. As indicated in 1 John 5:5, 'Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?' This belief carries with it the understanding that through His divine nature and sacrificial death, Jesus is able to save fully and completely. The faith that saves is grounded in the belief that Jesus is who He said He is: the Son of God, the Redeemer who is effective and sufficient for salvation. It's about trusting in His authority and power to redeem us rather than relying on our own actions or understanding.
