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

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' incarnation is necessary to bridge the gap between God and man, allowing for reconciliation.

The necessity of Christ's incarnation lies in the understanding that, according to Scripture, God cannot suffer or die, and man, in his sinful state, cannot attain righteousness. Therefore, the God-man is essential for salvation. As Paul writes in Galatians 4:4-5, 'God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law to redeem them that were under the law.' This highlights the requirement for Christ to take on human flesh to redeem humanity effectively. Without this union of divine and human nature, there would be no hope for reconciliation and redemption for the elect.
