How do we know God's holiness is essential for our salvation?

Answered in 1 source

God's holiness is essential because it demands that justice be satisfied, which Christ accomplished through His sacrifice.

Romans 3:25 teaches us that God set forth Christ as a propitiation for our sins, declaring His righteousness. God's holiness necessitates that justice must be satisfied when dealing with sin. If Christ had not fulfilled the law’s demands through His perfect life and sacrificial death, we could not be declared righteous. His holiness ensures that our salvation does not compromise His justice. God’s character is such that He cannot overlook sin; therefore, He orchestrated a plan of salvation that fully satisfies His justice while allowing Him to be merciful to those who believe. This understanding of God’s holiness is crucial for grappling with the extent of our salvation in relation to His divine nature.
