What does the Bible say about salvation through Christ?
Answered in 19 sources
The Bible teaches that salvation is accomplished through the finished work of Christ on the cross, where He served as a substitute for His people.
The Bible emphasizes that salvation is a work of God through Jesus Christ. In Philippians 2:8-11, it is revealed how Christ humbled Himself and became obedient unto death, achieving salvation for His people. This salvation is not based on human effort or adherence to the law but through faith in the completed work of Christ, which addresses God’s justice and fulfills the law’s demands. As stated in Romans 3:26, God is both just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. This highlights the grace of God in salvation, focusing on Christ’s sacrifice and the need for faith to receive the gift of salvation.
