How do we know Christ's incarnation is essential for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's incarnation is essential for salvation as He needed to become fully human to represent us before God and bear our sins.

The necessity of Christ's incarnation for salvation underscores the requirement for a representative who is both divine and human. According to Scripture, particularly Hebrews 10:4-10, the sacrifices of animals could never take away sin; they only foreshadowed the ultimate sacrifice that Christ alone could make. By becoming fully human, Christ was able to bear the sins of His people, qualifying as their representative because only a man can stand in for man. This dual nature is what makes Christ uniquely able to mediate our relationship with God.
