Why is Christ important for worship?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is essential for worship because He is the only mediator through whom we can approach God and be accepted.

In historic Reformed theology, worship is fundamentally centered on Christ as our sanctuary. Hebrews 9 describes the Old Testament tabernacle as prefiguring Christ, where true worship is conducted through Him. He is our mercy seat, our altar, and the means by which we approach the Father. Worship in spirit and truth is only possible through Christ, who provides access to God, indicating that all our prayers and sacrifices are accepted in Him. Thus, Christ transforms worship from merely external practices to a heartfelt communion with God through faith in Him.
