How do we know that Christ had to be killed?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's death was necessary as it fulfilled God's eternal purpose and satisfied divine justice for our sins.

The killing of Christ was an imperative part of God’s redemptive plan. It shows that God had predetermined this event as stated in Revelation 13:8, where Christ is described as the lamb slain from the foundation of the world. Peter confirms this in Acts 2:23 when he speaks of Jesus being delivered up by God's definite plan and foreknowledge. Therefore, the death of Christ is central to the Gospel, for it was necessary to satisfy divine justice and secure the salvation of His people.
