How do we know our need for Christ for salvation?

Awareness of our own sin and helplessness is crucial in understanding our need for Christ. In the sermon, it was highlighted that Job, in his suffering, was stripped of all self-confidence and recognized his complete dependence on God for mercy. Likewise, Scripture teaches that we are all dead in our trespasses and cannot earn salvation on our own (Ephesians 2:1-5). Only when we understand our true state before a holy God can we cry out for Christ, acknowledging Him as our only hope and Savior.
