Why is faith in Jesus crucial for salvation?

Answered in 2 sources

Faith in Jesus is crucial for salvation because it is the means by which we accept His atoning work and receive eternal life.

Faith is described in the New Testament as the instrument through which we access God's grace and salvation (Ephesians 2:8-9). It is essential for acknowledging our need for redemption and for entrusting ourselves to Christ's finished work. In the historic Reformed view, faith is not a work we perform, but a gift from God that draws us into a personal relationship with Jesus, allowing us to partake in His righteousness. The act of believing signifies relying solely on Christ for salvation, which fulfills the command to repent and believe the gospel (Mark 1:15).
