Why is knowing Christ vital for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Knowing Christ is essential for salvation because it establishes the foundation of faith and understanding the truth of His atoning work.

The knowledge of Christ is paramount because it forms the basis of salvation, as reflected in John 17:3, which states, 'This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.' This indicates that eternal life is intrinsically linked to knowing Jesus. Furthermore, our understanding of salvation—the forgiveness of sins and justification—is intimately connected to our relationship with Him. Knowing who Christ is and His redemptive work assures believers of their standing before God. As 2 Timothy 1:12 suggests, 'I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him.' This affirms that our knowledge of Christ directly impacts our faith and assurance of salvation.
