How do we know that Christ is our only means of salvation?
Answered in 1 source
Christ is our only means of salvation because He fulfilled the law and His death paid the penalty for our sins.
The exclusivity of Christ as the means of salvation is affirmed throughout Scripture. In Acts 4:12, it states, 'neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.' This underscores that no human effort, moral behavior, or religious adherence can suffice to reconcile us to God. Jesus declared in John 14:6 that He is 'the way, the truth, and the life,' making it clear that access to the Father is solely through Him. His atoning work involved fulfilling all righteousness and bearing the wrath of God in our place, as described in Galatians 4:4-6. This emphasizes that salvation is not a result of our works but is entirely by the grace of God given through Christ alone.
