Why is Christ's sake important in salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is solely for Christ's sake, as no merit from individuals can justify them before God.

The importance of Christ's sake in salvation is emphasized throughout the sermon, particularly in the statement, 'Nevertheless, for David's sake.' This reveals that the continuance of grace and goodwill from God towards sinners does not rely on their actions but rather on the merits of Christ. All aspects of salvation—justification, forgiveness, faith, repentance—are rooted in what Christ accomplished. This underscores the core Reformed doctrine that our acceptance before God is based on Christ's righteousness alone, not our personal righteousness, which is deemed insufficient. Hence, the focus remains solely on the grace of God manifested in Jesus.
