How do we know Jesus Christ is our only deliverance?

Jesus Christ is the central figure in God’s plan of redemption. In Romans 7:25, Paul acknowledges, 'I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord.' This is a declaration of faith affirming that deliverance from our wretched state comes solely through Christ. Our attempts at righteousness are futile compared to the grace that Jesus offers. The doctrine of total depravity underscores that without Christ, we are unable to reconcile ourselves to God. This need for Christ is further emphasized throughout Scripture, where Jesus claims to be the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6), establishing Him as the exclusive source of salvation. As believers, we must continually look to Him to sustain us through our wretched state.
