What does the Bible say about salvation for Christ's sake?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that salvation is granted for Christ's sake, fulfilling God's promises to His people for the sake of Christ's sacrifice.

The concept of salvation for Christ's sake is rooted deeply in God's covenant promises and His foreordained plan for redemption. As stated in Ephesians 4, we are forgiven and accepted because of what Christ has done—His sacrifice on the cross. The text references 2 Kings 8:19, which shows God's mercy towards Judah for the sake of David, highlighting that God's plans are anchored in His covenant with David, which ultimately points to Christ, the eternal King from the tribe of Judah who fulfills these promises. This truth underscores the Reformed perspective that salvation is entirely dependent on Christ's righteousness and sacrifice, not on human effort or merit.
Scripture References: Ephesians 4:32, 2 Kings 8:19
