How do we know that worthiness is required for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible states that to be worthy of salvation, one must acknowledge their lostness and need for Jesus, as highlighted in Matthew 10.

In the Christian faith, understanding one's worthiness is crucial, as it reflects a deep acknowledgment of sin and need for grace. In Matthew 10, Jesus instructs the disciples to inquire about who is worthy, suggesting that there are conditions for receiving His peace and healing. To be worthy of Christ's salvation, one must grasp their lost state, as highlighted in Luke 19:10, where Jesus asserts, 'For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.' The worthiness God speaks of is not based on merit but on a heartfelt recognition of spiritual poverty, sickness, and the need for a Savior. Thus, worthiness is inherently linked to the Gospel's call to humility and reliance on God's grace.
