What does Christ Alone mean?

Christ Alone means that salvation comes exclusively through Jesus Christ, who is the one Mediator between God and humanity (1 Timothy 2:5).

Why is Christ the only Mediator?

Because only Jesus is both fully God and fully man, He alone can bridge the gap between sinners and a holy God, offering reconciliation through His atoning death and resurrection.

How does this truth strengthen our assurance?

Our confidence in salvation rests not in our works or emotions but in Christ’s finished work on the cross, which guarantees forgiveness and eternal life to those who believe.
