Why is believing on the Son of God vital for Christians?
Answered in 1 source
Belief in the Son of God is vital as it is the foundation for salvation and the means by which we receive God’s mercy and grace.
Belief on the Son of God is essential for Christians because it is both the basis of our faith and the means of receiving God's grace. Jesus asked the blind man in John 9:35, 'Dost thou believe on the Son of God?' This question serves as a profound examination of faith. Believing in Jesus guarantees not only our present forgiveness (John 3:16-17) but also secures our eternal standing before God. The significance of believing lies in the recognition that without faith, one remains under the wrath of God (John 3:36). Faith in Christ leads to spiritual sight and life, enabling believers to worship and glorify God appropriately.
