Why is knowing Jesus Christ important for salvation?

Answered in 2 sources

Knowing Jesus Christ is essential for salvation, as eternal life is found in recognizing Him as Lord and Savior.

The significance of knowing Jesus Christ cannot be overstated in the context of salvation; eternal life is fundamentally linked to understanding who Christ is. As Paul notes in John 17:3, eternal life is described as knowing God and Jesus Christ whom He sent. This knowledge entails more than intellectual assent; it involves a relational understanding and trust in Him as the sole means of salvation. The Galatians, having encountered false teachings, were being led away from the truth of the Gospel that centers on Christ crucified (Galatians 3:1). Therefore, recognizing Christ’s person and work is imperative for salvation because it is through Him alone that sinners are reconciled to God.
