What does 'it is Christ' mean in theology?

Answered in 1 source

'It is Christ' emphasizes the centrality of Jesus in salvation and assures believers of their security in Him.

'It is Christ' encapsulates the essence of the Christian faith, highlighting that our hope, justification, and peace lie wholly in the person of Jesus Christ. In the sermon, this phrase serves to counter any accusation against the believer, reminding us that it is Christ who stood in our place, bore our sins, and achieved our salvation. The emphasis is not on what we do or how we feel, but rather on who Christ is and what He has accomplished. This theological conviction reassures believers that their salvation is secure, not based on their merit but on Christ's eternal work, reinforcing the concept of sovereign grace where God’s love and mercy are the sole reasons for our redemption.
