Why is the person of Jesus Christ essential for salvation?
Answered in 1 source
Jesus Christ is essential for salvation because He is the appointed Savior who accomplished redemption through His life and sacrificial death.
Salvation is fundamentally about a person, specifically Jesus Christ, who was foreordained by God for the purpose of redeeming His people. As stated in the sermon, salvation is in a person chosen of God through whom God saves a people for His glory. Christ's life, obedience, and sacrificial death fulfill the requirements of God's justice, making Him the only mediator between God and man. In Him, believers find not only forgiveness of sins but also the righteousness needed to stand before a holy God, making His person integral to the salvation experience.
