The Bible teaches that Christ alone is the source of our salvation, creation, and acceptance before God.
Scripture reveals that Christ is central to all aspects of creation and salvation. In Matthew 17:8, when the disciples saw Jesus alone, it significantly emphasizes His supremeness in the faith. Colossians 3:11 reinforces this by stating that 'Christ is all.' This indicates that all blessings—including predestination, adoption, and acceptance—are rooted in Christ alone. Our justification, redemption, and the entirety of scripture testify of Him, underscoring that He is the sole means through which we can access God's grace and mercy.
