How do we know that salvation is found in Christ's obedience?
Answered in 1 source
Salvation is rooted in Christ's perfect righteousness and obedience, which is credited to believers, making them right before God.
We know that salvation is found in Christ’s obedience because He is the only one who fulfilled the perfect standard of righteousness. In 1 Peter 1:18-19, we are reminded that we have been ransomed not with perishable things but with the precious blood of Christ. This implies that our hope and justification before God do not rest on our own actions or achievements, but rather on Christ’s perfect obedience, which is imputed to us. His righteousness becomes our own through faith, ensuring that believers are accepted by God, not because of their deeds, but because of Christ’s obedience, securing our salvation and identity in Him.
