What does God require for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

God requires perfect righteousness and satisfaction for sin, both of which are fully provided in Christ alone.

In the context of salvation, God demands both perfect righteousness and satisfaction for our sins. This righteousness cannot come from ourselves, as Romans 3:10 states that none are righteous on their own. Instead, Christ fulfills these requirements by living a sinless life and offering Himself as a perfect substitutionary sacrifice. Through faith in Him, believers are clothed in His righteousness and can stand before a holy God justified. This reinforces the sovereign grace message that salvation is entirely founded upon Christ's work, emphasizing that there is no other means to meet God's requirements. It is in recognizing our need and relying solely on Christ that we truly find assurance of salvation.
