How do we know that salvation is through faith in Christ alone?
Answered in 24 sources
Salvation is through faith in Christ alone as He is the singular remedy for sin, illustrated by the brazen serpent lifted in the wilderness.
In Numbers 21, God instructed Moses to make a brazen serpent that would heal those bitten by serpents if they looked upon it. This was a type of Christ, as Jesus references this event in John 3, indicating that just as the serpent was lifted up, so must He be lifted up for our salvation. The only way to receive healing and life is to look to Him in faith. This historical lesson assures us that faith in Jesus Christ is the one true method of obtaining salvation, as He is the solitary source of redemption from sin and its consequences.
