How do we trust solely in Christ for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Trusting in Christ requires faith exclusively in His person and work, not in any other means.

To trust solely in Christ for salvation means to rely completely on His finished work on the cross. This trust is distinct from any human efforts or religious acts. As Galatians 2:16 clarifies, we are not justified by works but through faith in Jesus Christ. The sermon emphasizes that faith itself is not the cause of our salvation but rather the means through which we receive the grace of God. Our confidence must rest entirely on the person of Jesus—who He is as the God-Man and what He accomplished in atoning for our sins. This focus on Christ alone is essential in a world where many may seek to combine their reliance on Christ with other elements, which dilutes the truth of the Gospel. True faith is a complete acceptance that salvation is found in no one else, as Acts 4:12 asserts.
