Answered in 2 sources
Christ's obedience is essential for salvation because it fulfills the law and secures our redemption.
The significance of Christ's obedience in relation to salvation is profound. Hebrews 5:8-9 highlights that though He was a Son, He learned obedience through the things He suffered, and being made perfect, He became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey Him. Christ's obedience was perfect and absolute, fulfilling the requirements of the law on behalf of His people. He represented us as the last Adam, ensuring that His obedience credits us, allowing us to be found righteous before God. It is His obedience, culminating in His sacrificial death, that secures our redemption and justifies us before a holy God.
