We come to Christ by faith, recognizing our need for Him and trusting in His finished work for our salvation.
To come to Christ for salvation means to approach Him in faith with a recognition of our sinful condition and an acknowledgment that He is the only remedy for our spiritual need. John 6:35 clearly states, 'He that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst,' illustrating that coming to Christ and believing in Him are synonymous actions. This act of coming is not a one-time event but a continuous reliance on Him for every aspect of our spiritual life. As believers, we are called to 'look to Christ' as our sole means of salvation and sustenance, trusting wholly in His obedience and sacrifice on our behalf. In Hebrews 10:22, we are reminded to 'draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith,' which encompasses both our initial act of faith and our ongoing relationship with Him.
