Why is it important that Christ must be lifted up?

Answered in 1 source

Christ must be lifted up to ensure that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life (John 3:15).

The lifting up of Christ is crucial for salvation because it is through His crucifixion and resurrection that He becomes the only means for sinners to escape perishing and gain eternal life. John 3:15 states that 'whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have eternal life.' Christ being lifted up acts as the remedy for sin and showcases God's justice and mercy. It is an act of divine love, where Christ, through His suffering, bears the penalty for human sin, thus providing a way for the elect to have eternal life through faith in Him.
