What is faith in Jesus Christ?

Faith in Jesus Christ is acknowledging the truth of everything that God has revealed in his Word, trusting in him, and also receiving and resting on him alone for salvation as he is offered to us in the gospel.

KALETIA 2:20

Kuo tutuki au ki he Kolosi mo Kalaisi: pea ko ‘eku mo‘ui ‘oku fai, ‘oku ‘ikai kei ko au, ka ko e mo‘ui ‘oku fai ‘e Kalaisi ‘iate au: ‘io, ko e mo‘ui ‘oku ou fai ‘eni ‘i he kakano ko e mo‘ui ‘i he tui, ko e tui ki he ‘Alo ‘o e ‘Otua, ‘a ia na‘a ne ‘ofeina au, mo ne foaki ia ‘e ia ke pekia koe‘uhi ko au.

GALATIANS 2:20

I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Commentary - JOHN YATES (cont...)

Sometimes I wonder if we realize what a really big word salvation is. What does it mean to be saved? What's the meaning of salvation?

It means safe. But it also mean healed. It means forgiven. It means adopted. It means having been made whole. It's a big word. It means that we are restored in our relationship with God. We've been given life with God now, and we've also been given the gift of eternal life with God in heaven forever. So salvation is big. Salvation is a gift of God. It's not something that we can earn, even though that's the way many people feel about it. It is not something we can achieve, but something that has to be received. And we need to have that straight from the very beginning.
