Why is the concept of 'no work' important in salvation?

Answered in 1 source

The principle of 'no work' on the Day of Atonement emphasizes that salvation is entirely the work of Christ, not reliant on human effort.

The instruction in Leviticus 16 that no work was to be done on the Day of Atonement serves as a powerful reminder that atonement for sin is a divine initiative, not achieved through human effort. This principle underscores the Reformed view of justification by faith alone, where salvation is fully dependent on Christ's completed work. Thus, it points believers to rest in Christ's sufficiency, affirming that their justification is not a result of their works but through faith in the grace of God, reinforcing the core tenets of the Five Solas.
