Why is faith in Christ essential for being part of God's church?

Answered in 1 source

Faith in Christ is essential as it is the means through which believers are united to Him, becoming integral parts of the church.

Faith in Christ is the foundation upon which believers are joined to Him and each other as part of His church. Romans 10:9 explains that confessing Jesus as Lord and believing in His resurrection secures our place within this divine assembly. As individuals come to faith, they are drawn from the quarry of fallen humanity to be honed and shaped into living stones that construct the church. This transformational process is not visible to the world and often goes unnoticed; however, through the Holy Spirit’s work, believers receive new life and are incorporated into the body of Christ. This relationship is vital for spiritual growth and community, reflecting Ephesians 4:16, where the body is built up through every joint and supply working effectively.
