How do we know that salvation depends on Christ's work?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation relies on Christ's work because the covenant made with Him before time ensures it, unlike the failed covenant of works with Adam.

The assurance of salvation rests on the covenant made with Christ, as seen in scriptures like Galatians 4 and Romans 8. This covenant is founded upon God's promise, where Christ stands as the surety for believers, guaranteeing their salvation. In contrast to the covenant of works, which is dependent on human performance and inevitably leads to failure, the new covenant assures success as it is based solely on Christ's finished work. Hebrews 7:22 refers to Christ as the surety of a better covenant that overcomes the weakness of the previous one, ensuring eternal redemption for His people.
