How does the obedience of Christ relate to our salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Our salvation is grounded in the obedience of Christ, not our own works.

The obedience of Christ is central to our understanding of salvation in Reformed theology. Hebrews 5:8 states that although He was a Son, He learned obedience through what He suffered. His perfect obedience to God's will culminated in His sacrificial death, which secured salvation for all who believe. This underscores that while we are called to obedience, it is ultimately His obedience that justifies us before God. Therefore, believers should respond to this gift by obeying God's commands, which reflect their faith in Christ's redemptive work.
