How does Christ's preeminence relate to our salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's preeminence assures us that He alone is the source of our salvation and righteousness (Colossians 1:18).

The preeminence of Christ is directly linked to the doctrine of salvation, as elaborated in Colossians 1:18, where He is declared the head of the body, the church. This indicates that all aspects of salvation—election, justification, and regeneration—flow from His authority and work. Because He is preeminent, salvation cannot be attributed to any human effort or merit, but solely to the grace of God through Christ. This affirms that our relationship with God is grounded in Him, making Him our surety and substitute, who ensures our safety and Perseverance.
