Why is being with Christ essential for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Being with Christ equates to salvation; as Romans 8:31 states, if God is for us, no one can be against us.

The necessity of being with Christ is central to salvation in Reformed theology. Romans 8:31 affirms that if God is for us, who can be against us, highlighting the protective power of God’s grace for His people. To be with Christ means to be in union with Him, benefiting from His atoning sacrifice and righteousness. The assurance of salvation lies not in human effort but in the divine work that God accomplishes through His Son. This relationship begins with election, proceeds to calling, and culminates in glorification, providing believers with the confidence that they are secure in His love and grace.
