How do we know Christ's death is central to salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's death is central to salvation because it provides atonement for our sins, allowing us forgiveness and reconciliation with God.

The belief that Christ's death is central to salvation is foundational in Reformed theology. Romans 5:9 states that we are justified by His blood, highlighting that His sacrificial death accomplishes what no human effort could—atonement for sin. We are forgiven through His blood (Ephesians 1:7), and Colossians 1:20 teaches that we are reconciled to God through the cross. Christ’s death not only cancels our debt but is also the means by which we are brought near to God (Ephesians 2:13). Therefore, the expiatory sacrifice of Jesus Christ is our only hope for eternal life.
