Vitally, as are all the New Testament epistles. Here is the overall sense of why the epistles are important:

Matthew 4:4 - But He [Jesus] answered and said, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.' "

John 12:48 - "He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him - the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day."

2 Timothy 3:16, 17 - All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Since "all Scripture is given by inspiration of God," man lives (spiritually) by "every word that proceeds from the mouth of God," and will be judged according to that measure, the epistles must properly be seen as no less important than anything else in The Bible. Nothing in the New Testament is "unimportant."
