How do we know Jesus must die for our sins?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' death is necessary because sin demands a penalty, which He satisfied as our substitute.

The Bible teaches that sin incurs a penalty of death, as stated in Romans 6:23. Jesus, as the Lamb of God, was appointed to die in the place of sinners. His death is not just an unfortunate event but a vital part of God's redemptive plan, fulfilling the requirements of God’s justice, as mentioned in Matthew 16:21. His sacrificial death was decreed before the foundation of the world, emphasizing that He is not a hapless victim but the appointed sacrifice for His people.
