Why is grace through faith in Christ essential for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is assured through grace and the faithfulness of Christ, not through our works or obedience to the law.

The essence of salvation in the Reformed understanding is that it is entirely by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, as stated in Galatians 3:22. The promise of salvation is given to those who believe, indicating that it's the faithfulness of Christ, rather than the strength of our faith, that secures our relationship with God. This principle is crucial as it alleviates the pressure of performance from believers, ensuring that salvation rests securely in Christ's completed work. By recognizing our complete dependence on His obedience, we have full confidence and assurance of our standing before God.
