How do we know that salvation is accomplished through Christ?
Answered in 1 source
Salvation is accomplished through Christ's atoning work on the cross as affirmed in Romans 3:25.
Romans 3:25 states, 'Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood.' This highlights that Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan, serving as the propitiation for our sins. In His death, He satisfied the just demands of God's wrath against sin, allowing believers to be reconciled with God. This act of atonement is central to the gospel as it reveals God's love and justice.
Moreover, the historical events surrounding Christ's birth, crucifixion, and resurrection are witnessed by both humans and angels, reinforcing the veracity of His mission. Angels desired to look into these things, showing their profound interest in God’s redemptive work in the lives of humanity. Thus, the assurance of salvation rests not on human effort but entirely on Christ's completed work, which is graciously applied to believers through faith.
