How do we know that Christ is the difference in salvation?

The distinction between the saved and the lost is not based on individual merit but wholly on Christ's works and His sacrificial death. As stated in the sermon, the only reason one is not condemned is because Jesus Christ died on their behalf. In John 10:19, we see that the differences among people are starkly highlighted by the responses to Christ. The essence of salvation lies in recognizing that Christ is the Lamb of God, and approaching God must be done through Him and His atonement, not through our works. This belief directly leads to a division, reflecting the historical illustration of Cain and Abel, where Abel's acceptance was based on faith in God’s promise, while Cain relied on his works.
