What does it mean when the Bible says 'There is only Christ'?

Answered in 1 source

'There is only Christ' emphasizes that Jesus is the sole source of salvation and cannot be supplemented by human works.

The phrase 'There is only Christ' reflects the central theme of the gospel—that Jesus alone is sufficient for our salvation. As stated in Matthew 17, after the transfiguration, when Moses and Elijah disappear, the disciples see only Jesus. This signifies that all authority and salvation rest in Him alone. Any attempt to add to Christ's work is to misunderstand the gospel. The focus must be solely on Christ and the covenant of grace, which guarantees salvation to all who believe and trust in Him alone.
