How do we know the Gospel is necessary for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

The Gospel is necessary for salvation because it is through hearing and believing the Gospel that one comes to faith.

The necessity of the Gospel for salvation is rooted in biblical teaching. Scripture tells us in Romans 10:17, 'So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.' This highlights that without the proclamation of the Gospel, people remain blind to their need for salvation. In Acts 10, we see God's initiative in sending Peter to Cornelius, demonstrating that God uses the preaching of His Word to awaken faith in His chosen ones. The declared message of Christ's finished work is the means by which God transforms the hearts of believers and reconciles them to Himself.
