Why is the authority of Christ necessary for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's authority is essential because it ensures that salvation is effective and certain for those chosen by God.

The authority of Christ is crucial for the effectiveness of salvation because it provides the assurance that His redemptive work is accomplished and cannot fail. Matthew 28:18 emphasizes that all authority has been given to Him, making Him the sovereign figure in salvation. This means that salvation is not based on the whims of humanity but on the sovereign plan of God where Christ, as the chosen Redeemer, has the power to save all whom the Father brings to Him. It reassures believers that their salvation is secure, as it rests upon the absolute authority and promise of Christ Himself.
