How does the death of Christ impact the last will and testament?

Answered in 1 source

The death of Christ is essential as it activates the last will and testament, allowing believers to receive their inheritance.

The importance of Christ's death in relation to the last will and testament is underscored in Hebrews 9:16, where it is stated that a will is enforced only upon the death of the testator. His death not only signifies the activation of the will but also fulfills the necessary conditions for inheritance. The covenant of grace, which assures forgiveness, righteousness, and eternal life, was sealed by His sacrifice. Without His death, believers would remain estranged from their inheritance, highlighting the centrality of the cross in God’s redemptive plan. This means that the entirety of our salvation hinges on the historical reality of Christ's death and resurrection.
