Why is Christ's perfection necessary for our salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's perfection is essential because it qualifies Him to be our substitute and perfect sacrifice for sin.

The perfection of Christ is crucial to the doctrine of salvation in Reformed theology. He met all the righteous requirements of God's law through His active and passive obedience. As a sinless sacrifice, His blood was shed to atone for the sins of His people. In Him, believers find their righteousness; we are accepted by God not based on our own efforts, which are tainted by sin, but through Christ's perfect life and sacrificial death. This understanding underscores the need for faith in Christ alone as the basis for our justification and acceptance before God.
