What does it mean that Christ is our only acceptance with God?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is our sole acceptance with God; we cannot have a relationship with Him apart from Jesus and His righteousness.

The foundation of our acceptance before God is entirely based on Jesus Christ and His atoning sacrifice. According to Romans 5:1, we are justified by faith, which grants us peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. It is not our actions or inherent goodness that secure our status before God, but rather Christ's righteousness imputed to us, as articulated in 2 Corinthians 5:21, which states that He became sin for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. This emphasizes the doctrine of justification by faith alone, central to Reformed theology, and highlights that our hope lies solely in Christ’s work, fostering assurance of salvation among believers.
