What does it mean that salvation is all of Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is entirely attributed to Christ's work and not based on our actions or efforts.

Salvation being all of Christ means that every aspect of salvation—election, justification, sanctification, and glorification—hinges on Christ alone. As indicated in Ephesians 1:3, all spiritual blessings are found in Him. The phrase signifies that God’s forgiveness and grace are rendered to believers solely for Christ’s sake, rather than anything we do or claim. The doctrine of grace thus teaches that believers are justified by faith in Christ, not through personal merit. This truth reinforces the reality that when salvation is attributed to Christ alone, it underscores our complete reliance on His finished work rather than any effort to achieve righteousness. Such understanding brings assurance and peace to believers, knowing their standing before God is wholly settled in Christ's redemptive act.
