How does salvation through Christ work?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation through Christ works by His grace, where He bears the penalty of our sins and provides righteousness for all who believe.

Salvation is a work initiated and completed by God through Jesus Christ. Romans 3:24 states, 'Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.' This indicates that there is no merit we can offer to earn salvation; it is a gift received through faith. Christ's atoning work on the cross satisfies God's justice and allows believers to stand righteous before Him. Our faith in Christ is not a work we perform but a trust that we have in the work He has done for us. Therefore, salvation opens the door for us to receive God's mercy and grace, transforming us from sinners into children of God.
