Why is having a personal relationship with Christ important for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

A personal relationship with Christ is critical for salvation as it ensures that one acknowledges Him as their Savior.

Having a personal relationship with Christ is fundamental to the Reformed understanding of salvation. In Exodus 12, God required each household to individually select a lamb, emphasizing that every person must have a personal connection to the sacrifice. Similarly, each believer must accept Jesus as their personal Savior, recognizing the significance of His atoning sacrifice for their sins. This personal faith is what distinguishes a mere intellectual acknowledgment of Christ from a true saving faith, which involves a heartfelt trust in Him as the only means of redemption.
