How does God's holiness affect salvation?

Answered in 1 source

God's holiness necessitates that He cannot overlook sin, requiring a just means of salvation through Christ.

God's holiness is paramount in the doctrine of salvation. As Stephen asserts in Acts 7, God cannot save us by ignoring our sins or accepting our works. Salvation must satisfy His perfect justice. This is fulfilled through Christ, who, being without sin, bore our sins on the cross, allowing God to be just while justifying those who believe in Him. The holiness of God ensures that our salvation is secure and maintained without taint, providing a solid hope for every believer.
