How do we know that salvation is achieved through Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is attained only through faith in Christ, who bore our sins and provides redemption, aligning with the teachings in Romans 5:8.

The doctrine of salvation through Christ is central to the Christian faith, firmly grounded in Scripture. Romans 5:8 states that God demonstrates His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. This establishes the belief that redemption is not earned through human effort but is a gift from God, given through grace alone. In Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, Christian’s burdens are lifted at the sight of the cross, symbolizing the moment of realization for every believer that salvation is dependent solely on Christ’s atoning sacrifice. This is echoed in Ephesians 2:8-9, which affirms that salvation is by grace through faith, emphasizing that it is not of ourselves, lest any man should boast. Thus, the assurance of salvation lies in the finished work of Christ on the cross.
