What must be believed to be saved according to the gospel?

Answered in 1 source

To be saved, one must believe that Christ died for their sins and rose again, trusting in His finished work for salvation.

The essence of believing the gospel involves accepting the truth that Christ died for our sins and was resurrected, as articulated in 1 Corinthians 15:3-4. This belief is essential because it is through faith in this redemptive work that one receives salvation. It's not merely an intellectual assent but a heartfelt trust in Christ's sacrifice as the complete and sufficient payment for sin. This act of faith aligns with the understanding that salvation is not based on personal works but solely on God’s grace and power, as highlighted in Ephesians 2:8-9. Thus, true belief encompasses recognizing one's need for redemption and wholly leaning on Christ for salvation.
