Why is faith in Christ alone essential?

Answered in 1 source

Faith in Christ alone is essential because it is through Him that we receive righteousness and acceptance before God.

The necessity of faith in Christ as the sole means of righteousness stems from the biblical truth that our own works are insufficient to meet God's standards. Romans 9:31-32 illustrates that many pursue righteousness through their own efforts and fail because they do not seek it by faith. Only Christ's sacrifice satisfies divine justice and provides the required righteousness for sinners. Therefore, we must come to God with faith in Christ, recognizing that all our righteousness is as filthy rags. This doctrine emphasizes that our acceptance by God is based not on our merits but solely on the perfect work of Christ, through whom we are justified and sanctified.
