How do we know Christ alone saves us?

Answered in 2 sources

Scripture teaches that salvation is found exclusively in Christ, verifying the singularity of His redemptive work.

The assertion that Christ alone saves is rooted in the doctrine of Solus Christus, which affirms that no one else can mediate between God and man. The Apostle Paul underscores this in 2 Corinthians 1:12 when he reflects on the joy that derives from the testimony of the believer's conscience, emphasizing simplicity in the understanding of salvation. This simplicity centers on Christ's atoning work without additional requirements, reaffirmed in Ephesians 2:8-9, which states that we are saved by grace through faith, not of ourselves, but as a gift from God, assuring us that salvation is not by works but by faith in Christ alone.
