Why is Jesus Christ the object of faith?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus Christ is the sole and supreme object of faith because he fulfills the needs of salvation and mediates between God and man.

The object of faith is critically important in Christian doctrine. Jesus Christ serves as the only proper object of saving faith, as indicated in passages like John 14:1, where believers are instructed to believe in both God and Jesus. He is described as the author and finisher of faith in Hebrews 12:2, emphasizing that genuine faith must focus on Him and His work of salvation. Additionally, placing faith in Christ alone excludes any reliance on personal works or merits. The faith of God's elect recognizes Jesus as the Savior and directs all trust to Him for justification and eternal life, creating a relationship through which believers can approach God.
