What is the significance of belief in Christ for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Believing in Christ is essential for salvation, as it is through Him alone that we are justified and made righteous before God.

Christ’s role as our substitute is central to the concept of salvation in the Christian faith. The Gospel declares that faith in Christ is not merely an acknowledgment of His existence but an active trust in His completed work of redemption. Romans 10:9 proclaims that if we confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in our heart that God raised Him from the dead, we will be saved. This belief is pivotal because it signifies our acceptance of God's grace and the righteousness of Christ given to us, which is necessary for standing justified before God.
