How do we know the necessity of Christ's death?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's death was an absolute necessity to satisfy God's justice and secure salvation for humanity.

In the sermon, it is emphasized that Christ's death was not just a tragic event but an absolute necessity for salvation. God's character includes justice, and His holiness demands that sin be paid for. As illustrated in John 12:24, Jesus explained that if a corn of wheat does not die, it abides alone; but if it dies, it will produce much fruit. This analogy signifies that Christ’s sacrificial death leads to the salvation of many. He had to die to fulfill the role of the propitiation, satisfying God's wrath while extending grace to sinners, affirming that salvation is entirely due to His mercy and not our works.
