How do we know justification is centered on Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Justification is centered on Christ because it is based solely on His finished work, not on human merit or effort.

Justification stands central to the believer’s salvation experience, as it is through faith in Christ’s redemptive work that we are declared righteous before God. The Scriptures affirm that we cannot add anything to this work; it is complete. The only condition for our justification is Christ fulfilling the eternal covenant, in which He took our place and bore our sins. Our own actions or merits have no place in justification; we are justified by faith alone, through Christ alone. This underscores the biblical truth that our righteousness comes solely from His imputed righteousness, providing us with assurance of salvation that rests firmly on Him.
