Why is the cross central to salvation?

Answered in 1 source

The cross of Christ is central to salvation because it is through His atoning sacrifice that redemption is accomplished (Galatians 3:13).

The cross stands as the pivotal point of salvation history where Christ’s sacrificial death served as the ultimate atonement for sin. According to Galatians 3:13, Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us. This underscores that it was not merely a potential redemption but an actual accomplishment that secures the salvation for the elect. If Christ’s death was not effectual, then human hope for salvation would be entirely in vain. The truth of the Gospel centers on the reality that salvation is secured through Christ's work on the cross, making it imperative for believers to anchor their faith in this historical and theological event.
