Why is Christ's incarnation necessary for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's incarnation is essential because it affirms His dual nature as fully God and fully man, necessary for the redemption of His people.

The incarnation of Christ is a cornerstone of Christian faith, emphasizing that Jesus, fully God and fully man, came to redeem humanity. As stated in 1 John 4:2, acknowledging that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is vital for affirming true belief in Him. Without His incarnation, He could not be the sufficient sacrifice for sin. Those who deny His coming in the flesh, like the Gnostics and various modern false religions, undermine the very foundation of the gospel. Because Christ was incarnate, He could empathize with our struggles, fulfill the law perfectly, and ultimately lay down His life as our propitiation, making salvation possible.
