How do we know that Christ’s death and resurrection were necessary?

Answered in 1 source

Christ’s death and resurrection are essential for salvation, fulfilling God's redemptive plan as shown in Scripture (Acts 2:23-24).

The necessity of Christ's death and resurrection is deeply rooted in the theological narrative of Scripture. John 18 and 19 detail that these events were not just pivotal in Jesus's life but were ordained by God's eternal purpose. Acts 2:23-24 emphasizes that Jesus was delivered up according to God's predetermined plan, highlighting that without His sacrificial death, none of the propositions of salvation, eternal life, and the return of Christ could be realized. The New Testament consistently affirms that the redemption and gathering of the elect hinge upon His death and resurrection, thus making these historical events not merely tragic, but foundational to the Christian faith.
