How do we know grace through Christ is essential for salvation?

Answered in 2 sources

Grace through Christ is essential for salvation because no one can achieve righteousness on their own.

The necessity of grace through Christ is clear in the scriptures, as seen in Romans 3, which affirms that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Without Christ's righteousness imputed to us, we stand condemned. The contrast between being blessed and cursed is highlighted in Galatians 3, where Paul states that those who rely on their works are under a curse, while Christ redeems us from that curse by fulfilling the law on our behalf. Understanding this distinction is vital for grasping how salvation solely depends on grace.
