How do we know salvation is through Jesus Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible affirms that salvation is a gift from God through faith in Jesus Christ, not based on our works.

Romans 6:23 proclaims, 'For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.' This verse encapsulates the Reformed understanding of salvation as a divine gift, emphasizing that it is not earned through human efforts or merit but given freely by God's grace. The entire narrative of Scripture, from the Old Testament to the New, points to Jesus as the sole means of reconciliation between God and humanity. The righteousness of Christ is imputed to believers, allowing them to stand blameless before God, which is a central theme seen across passages like Ephesians 1 and Romans 5. Thus, as believers, we cling to the assurance that Jesus Christ is the true way to eternal life.
