How does submission to Christ relate to salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Submission to Christ signifies acknowledging Him as Lord and is integral to true faith and salvation.

Submission to Christ is a profound aspect of true faith, as it acknowledges His authority and role as Lord and Savior. The repentant thief on the cross exemplified this when he addressed Jesus as 'Lord' while acknowledging his own sinfulness. This act of submission signifies surrendering one's own efforts for righteousness and recognizing Christ as the sole source of salvation. Romans 10:3 teaches that those ignorant of God's righteousness go about to establish their own, but true submission is the recognition that we can do nothing to earn salvation. In Reformed theology, this submission is essential because it reflects a believer’s trust in Christ's finished work rather than their own works.
Scripture References: Luke 23:42, Romans 10:3
