How do we know that salvation is solely through Christ's suffering?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is rooted in the necessity of Christ’s suffering, which satisfies God's justice and provides redemption for the elect.

The truth of salvation being solely through Christ's suffering is anchored in the doctrines of grace and the redemptive work completed on the cross. Hebrews 5:7-8 affirms that Christ learned obedience through His sufferings and offered Himself as a perfect mediator between God and man. The grave consequences of sin necessitated a sacrifice that was both divine and human, which only Christ could fulfill. His atoning work is described as propitiatory, effectively satisfying God’s righteous anger against sin. By referencing Christ's agonies, including poignant moments recounted in John 19, we confirm that no other being could endure such suffering and thus procure salvation for the elect, emphasizing Christ's unique role as the Redeemer.
