What are the implications of Christ being without sin in His death?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's sinlessness ensures His death was a perfect sacrifice, making it sufficient for the atonement of our sins.

The sinlessness of Christ is pivotal to the doctrine of substitutionary atonement. As the Lamb of God, He could only serve as an acceptable sacrifice if He was without sin (1 Peter 1:19). His perfection means that His death satisfied the law’s penalty for sin on behalf of all whom the Father had given to Him. As a result, His blood becomes the true payment for sin, enabling believers to be declared righteous through faith in His finished work, as articulated in 2 Corinthians 5:21.
