How do we know Christ’s death is essential for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Christ’s death is essential because it accomplished salvation for the elect and fulfilled God's justice.

Christ's death is central to the doctrine of salvation as He bore the sins of His people and satisfied God's justice, ensuring that all whom He died for are fully redeemed. As highlighted in passages like Matthew 1:21, where it states that He will save His people from their sins, His death transforms the sinner's standing before God. This can be further understood through Romans 5:10, which states that we are reconciled to God by the death of His Son. Therefore, His sacrificial love serves as the foundation of our hope as believers, underscoring that without His death, there is no salvation.
