How do we know that salvation is through trusting in Christ?

Salvation is articulated through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as the object of faith. Paul states in 2 Timothy 1:12, 'For I know whom I have believed,' emphasizing that salvation is not merely about belief in a system or doctrine, but trust in a person—Christ Himself. The Epistle to the Ephesians (Ephesians 1:7) further affirms that in Christ, we have redemption through His blood, showing that He alone is the means by which our sins are atoned. This vital connection between faith and Christ illustrates the assurance we have in trusting Him for salvation, as He is both our Redeemer and intercessor.
