The truth of salvation is affirmed through Scripture, particularly in Romans 1:16, which declares the Gospel as 'the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth.'
The doctrine of salvation is rooted in the authority of Scripture, which presents a cohesive narrative of God’s redemptive work through Jesus Christ. Romans 1:16 asserts that the Gospel is 'the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth.' This signifies that salvation is not based on human effort but on faith in Christ’s finished work. The New Testament consistently testifies to the necessity of faith, grace, and the atoning sacrifice of Jesus, who fulfilled the law and took on the sins of His people, as noted in 2 Corinthians 5:21, which states that 'He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.' This guarantees the believer's standing before God is secured through Christ's righteousness.
