How do we know that salvation comes through Christ alone?

Salvation through Christ alone is foundational in Christian theology, as expressed in Luke 2:11, where it declares, 'For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.' This passage explicitly identifies Jesus as the Savior, highlighting His unique role in God’s plan for salvation. Furthermore, the doctrine of salvation emphasizes that it is not by works or merit but solely through faith in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8-9). He alone bore the wrath of God on behalf of sinners through His sacrificial death, which makes His role in salvation indispensable. Recognizing Christ as the exclusive source of salvation ensures that believers understand the grace that brings them into a relationship with God.
