The content of saving faith is knowing and believing in who Jesus is as the Son of God and Savior.
Saving faith involves a deep understanding and trust in the person of Jesus Christ. It is not merely believing certain truths about Him but knowing Him personally. As articulated in John 6:69, where Peter confesses, 'We believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God,' true saving faith acknowledges Jesus' identity and His redemptive work. When the Ethiopian eunuch confessed faith in Acts 8:37, saying, 'I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God,' it revealed that the essence of faith is recognizing Jesus’ divine nature and redemptive purpose. This relationship with Christ forms the foundation of salvation and eternal security.
