Why is it necessary to believe in Jesus to be saved?
Answered in 1 source
Believing in Jesus is essential because He alone has the power to forgive sins and grant eternal life.
The necessity of believing in Jesus for salvation is rooted in the nature of Christ as the sole mediator between God and man. John 14:6 tells us that Jesus is 'the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through me.' This exclusivity emphasizes the significance of faith in Christ for salvation. Romans 10:14 expounds on this by stating that one cannot call upon Him in whom they have not believed. Therefore, belief in Christ is not just beneficial but crucial, as it is through faith that one receives the forgiveness of sins and eternal communion with God.
