Why is it crucial to focus on Jesus only in our faith?

Answered in 1 source

Focusing on Jesus only is crucial because He is the source of our righteousness, salvation, and the fullness of God's revelation.

In the context of Mark 9, the transfiguration serves as a moment where the disciples perceive Christ’s divine transfiguration, highlighting His supremacy. After seeing Jesus only, the disciples learned that all the law and the prophets pointed to Him. This focus ensures that our faith is grounded in the one who has completed the work of salvation. When we emphasize Jesus only, we avoid the pitfalls of adding our works or human effort into the equation, which dilutes the Gospel's message. Hebrews 12:2 urges believers to fix their eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith. This focus not only glorifies Christ but also assures us of our complete acceptance in Him, as He is our righteousness before a holy God.
