Why is knowing God through JesusChrist essential for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Knowing God through Jesus is essential for salvation because Christ alone reveals the fullness of God's character and redemptive plan.

According to Scripture, no one can truly know God apart from Jesus Christ. Jesus emphasizes this in Matthew 11:27, stating, 'No man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.' This revelation is crucial because it is through Jesus that we understand God's holiness, justice, and mercy. The Gospel reveals God's demand for righteousness, which is met in Christ alone. He is the good master and the only way through which humanity can be reconciled to God (John 14:6). Therefore, knowing God correctly is not based on human efforts or ideologies but through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, who embodies the fullness of God in human form.
