How do we know the obedience of Christ is crucial for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

The obedience of Christ is essential for salvation because it is through His righteousness that sinners are justified before God.

The obedience of Christ plays a crucial role in the doctrine of salvation. According to Romans 5:19, through one man's disobedience, many were made sinners; so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Christ's obedience, culminating in His sacrificial death, satisfies God's justice and secures the imputation of righteousness to all who believe. Hence, believers do not stand before God in their own works but rather in the righteousness of Christ. This imputed righteousness is foundational for the justification of the ungodly, highlighting how God can be just and merciful simultaneously.
