How do we know Jesus is the difference in salvation?

The central argument of the sermon is that the difference in salvation lies in Jesus Christ alone. In John 10:27-29, Jesus makes it clear that His sheep hear His voice and are securely held in His hand, emphasizing His protective role as our Savior. Furthermore, Ephesians 1:4 states that believers were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world, reinforcing the idea that salvation is God's doing and not of human merit. Christ’s atoning sacrifice signifies that He bore the wrath of God for the sins of His people, fulfilling the requirements of justice while providing mercy. Through Him, we have eternal life, as illustrated in John 17:9, where He prays specifically for those given to Him by the Father, showcasing His role in ensuring their salvation.
