How do we know that Mary did not have the same role in salvation as Christ?

In examining Mary's role in salvation, it is crucial to note that she herself referred to God as her Savior in Luke 1:46-47, affirming her need for salvation. The historic Reformed perspective asserts that Mary, like all humanity, is in need of grace and not to be viewed as a mediator. Her role as the mother of Jesus is divinely significant, yet she does not possess an equal status in redemptive work. The contrast highlights that while Mary is blessed among women, her acknowledgment of God as her Savior underscores that our salvation is solely through Christ, who bore the sins of His people alone. This distinction reinforces the sovereignty of God's grace in salvation.
