Why must Christians trust in Christ alone for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Trusting in Christ alone is crucial because salvation is an act of God's grace, not human effort.

Historic Reformed theology emphasizes that salvation is entirely a work of God's grace, underscored by the belief that sinners can do nothing to earn their salvation. Trusting in Christ alone means recognizing that any attempt to contribute to one's salvation undermines the sufficiency of Christ’s atoning work. Jesus said, 'Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest,' signifying that true rest and assurance come only through faith in Him. Believers are called to abandon reliance on their own works or righteousness and instead fully rest in Christ's completed work of redemption, which fulfills all required for salvation.
