Why is believing God's word essential for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Believing God's word is essential because it is through faith in Christ that we receive eternal life (John 5:24).

The essence of salvation is fundamentally tied to believing God's word, which reveals the person and work of Christ. John 5:24 states that whoever hears Christ’s word and believes Him who sent Him has eternal life, affirming that belief is the means by which we accept the salvation offered by God. The rejection of God’s revelation leads to spiritual death, as emphasized in John 3:18. Hence, faith acts as the conduit through which God’s grace flows into our lives, assuring us of our identity as His children and our eternal inheritance. To believe is to trust not only the facts of the Gospel but also to rest in the promises of God, which culminates in salvation.
