Why is it important to understand that Christ did all the work for salvation?

Recognizing that Christ accomplished everything necessary for our salvation reinforces the fundamental aspect of grace in the Christian faith. In John 6:39, Jesus states, 'And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.' This shows God's sovereign choice in salvation, where Christ is the sole mediator. If salvation were dependent on our efforts, it would not be a true gift and would lead to pride. Grasping that we reap what we did not sow brings us to a place of humility and assurance in God's unchanging promise.
