Why is faith in Christ necessary for forgiveness?

Answered in 1 source

Faith in Christ is necessary because only His sacrificial death provides true forgiveness for sins.

Faith in Christ is paramount for forgiveness due to His unique role as the Savior. The Bible teaches that 'without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness' (Hebrews 9:22). Christ, as the God-man, offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice, fulfilling the requirements of the law that we could not meet. When one places faith in Christ, they are acknowledging His completed work on the cross as the sole means for atonement. This reliance on Christ is not merely intellectual assent but a deep-seated trust that leads to repentance and the receiving of God's mercy, which alone grants forgiveness and reconciliation with God.
