How do we know salvation is solely through Christ?

Answered in 5 sources

Salvation is solely through Christ as affirmed in Scripture, which teaches that it is finished and cannot be supplemented by human works.

The truth that salvation is exclusively through Christ is firmly rooted in Scripture. For instance, Galatians 5:4 explains that anyone seeking justification through the law has fallen from grace because grace cannot coexist with any notions of personal merit or works. Furthermore, Christ Himself proclaimed on the cross, 'It is finished' (John 19:30), signifying that His sacrificial death completed the necessary work for our salvation. This declaration leaves no room for human contributions, illustrating that salvation is solely dependent on Christ’s grace. The historic Reformed view maintains that to add anything to Christ’s work is to undermine the very essence of the gospel.
