Why is faith in Christ's work on the cross essential for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Faith in Christ's work is essential, as it asserts that salvation is accomplished through His sacrifice alone.

Faith in Christ's sacrificial work on the cross is the cornerstone of the Christian faith because it is through this work that redemption is achieved. The cross stands as the ultimate demonstration of God’s justice and mercy, where Christ bore the penalty for sin. When He declared 'it is finished', it signified that the requirements of the law were met, thus securing salvation for all who believe. Hebrews 11:1 teaches that faith is the assurance of things hoped for, and by placing our faith in Jesus, we affirm that our salvation rests not on our works but entirely on His righteousness and His completed work.
