Why is the blood of Christ central to salvation?

Answered in 1 source

The blood of Christ is central because it alone secures our forgiveness and protects us from judgment.

In Exodus 12, the application of the lamb's blood on the doorposts was the sole means of protection from God's wrath during the Passover. This serves as a powerful type of how Christ's blood protects believers today. When God sees the blood, He passes over their sin and judgment. There is no additional requirement of faith combined with works; what delivers us is solely the blood of Christ. This underscores that our confidence and security in salvation must rest wholly in the sacrificial work of Jesus, affirmed throughout Scripture as the only means of salvation.
