Why do I need Christ for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

You need Christ for salvation because He is the only one who can bear the penalty for sin and offer true forgiveness and life.

In Christianity, salvation hinges upon the work of Christ as the perfect sacrifice for sin. God’s holiness demands justice for sin, and only through Christ—who bore our sins and was punished in our place—can we receive mercy without compromising divine justice. In 1 John 2:2, Jesus is described as the 'propitiation for our sins,' meaning through His sacrifice, He satisfies God's justice while availing mercy to sinners. Therefore, trusting in Christ is essential because through Him alone can we attain forgiveness, reconciliation with God, and eternal life.
