We need a Savior because of our sinful condition and God's demand for perfection.
The necessity for a Savior arises from humanity's fallen state of sin, which separates us from God. Romans 3:23 states, 'For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,' illustrating that every person is incapable of achieving the perfection that God demands. Without a Savior, we remain under the judgment of our sin, thus highlighting our desperate need for redemption. Jesus Christ, as our Savior, satisfies the wrath of God through His atoning sacrifice, providing the only means by which we can have our sins forgiven and be reconciled to God. Thus, recognizing this need for salvation leads us to understand the depths of God's grace in providing Christ as our perfect substitute and Savior.
