How do we know that Jesus' death on the cross was necessary for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' death was necessary as it fulfilled God's redemptive plan and paid the penalty for sin, reconciling believers to God.

The necessity of Jesus' death on the cross is rooted in the doctrine of original sin and the need for righteousness. Romans 3:23 states that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Given this reality, someone must bear the penalty for sin, which is death. Christ, as the perfect and sinless Son of God, took upon Himself the sins of humanity, fulfilling God's requirement for justice while demonstrating His love. This sacrificial act reconciles believers to God and allows for the gift of salvation.
