Why is having faith in Christ necessary for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Faith in Christ is necessary for salvation because it is through faith that we receive His righteousness and the gift of eternal life.

Faith is the means by which God's grace is received, essential for salvation according to Romans 1:16-17, which emphasizes that the gospel is for those who believe. Without faith, one cannot access the benefits that Christ has accomplished for us. It is not through human effort or merit but through a faith that rests solely in Christ that we are justified and accepted by God. Furthermore, faith is transformative; it changes our relationship with God and empowers us to live in accordance with His will. Without faith, we are unable to escape God's righteous judgment and remain in our sins, which is why the call to believe in Jesus Christ is fundamental in the proclamation of the gospel.
