Why is faith in Jesus Christ essential for eternal life?

Answered in 1 source

Faith in Jesus is essential for eternal life because it is through Him that we receive this life as a gift from God.

Faith in Jesus Christ is crucial because, as stated in Romans 6:23, the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Believing on the name of the Son of God is tied directly to receiving eternal life, as seen in 1 John 5:13. This faith is not a mere intellectual exercise; it represents a personal trust in Christ as the one who mediates life for those who are spiritually dead. It is through faith that believers experience the transformative power of His resurrection and receive the Holy Spirit, who applies the benefits of Christ's work to their hearts.
