Answered in 1 source
The blood of Christ is essential for forgiveness because it is the only means by which our sins are cleansed.
The blood of Christ signifies the perfect sacrifice that God has ordained for the redemption of His people. According to the sermon, forgiveness is not conditioned upon our actions, prayers, or repentance but relies solely on the shed blood of Christ. His sacrifice meets all justice requirements, providing a just ground for the forgiveness of sins. Through faith in the effectiveness of His blood, believers are cleansed from sin, as articulated in scripture where it states that nothing but the blood of Jesus can wash away our sins. It’s this singular and sufficient sacrifice that ensures our acceptance before God.
