What does the Bible say about the work of Christ in salvation?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that Christ's work is the sole foundation for salvation, emphasizing His complete redemption for the elect.

The Scriptures highlight that Christ's sacrifice is sufficient and effective for the salvation of His chosen people. In John 6:37, Jesus affirms, 'All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.' This verse underscores the sovereignty of God in drawing His elect to Christ, demonstrating that salvation hinges solely upon Christ's work rather than any human effort. Furthermore, to suppose that Christ's blood could be insufficient for anyone for whom it was shed is to diminish the glory and efficacy of His atonement.

Additionally, passages like Hebrews 9:12 reveal that Christ obtained eternal redemption specifically for His people, emphasizing the particular nature of His atonement. It is the work of the Lord that assures us of our salvation, and any notion that salvation can be achieved through human deeds or a cooperative effort with God directly undermines the completeness of Christ's redemption on the cross.
