Answered in 2 sources
The blood of Christ is vital for redemption because it provides the necessary atonement for sin.
The blood of Christ is crucial in redemption because it fulfills the requirements of divine justice. As stated in Romans 5:9, 'Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.' The shedding of Christ's blood is the means by which our sins are forgiven, illustrating that justice must be satisfied for grace to be freely given. In Luke 7:47, Jesus highlights that to whom much is forgiven, they love much, indicating the profound significance of understanding the depth of our sin and the extent of Christ's sacrifice.
