How do we know salvation is only through Christ?

Answered in 20 sources

Salvation is affirmed as only through Christ, as Peter states in Acts 4:12, 'There is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.'

The exclusivity of salvation through Christ is a foundational tenet of sovereign grace theology. Acts 4:12 clearly teaches that salvation is found in no other name but that of Jesus Christ. This is reiterated throughout Scripture, as John 14:6 records Jesus declaring Himself as 'the way, the truth, and the life.' This principle emphasizes that our salvation is not based on our works or righteousness, but solely on the merit of Christ's redemptive work on the cross. In the sermon, the preacher underlines that faith is entrusted in Christ alone, asserting that believers must come to Him directly for salvation, much like the leper and the centurion did, recognizing their inability to save themselves.
