What does the Bible say about the necessity of Christ's death and resurrection?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that Christ's death and resurrection were absolutely necessary for the salvation of sinners, fulfilling God's divine plan of redemption.

In Luke 24:44-47, Jesus emphasizes the absolute necessity of His suffering and resurrection by stating that all things must be fulfilled that were written in the Law, the Prophets, and the Psalms concerning Him. The term 'must' denotes something that is binding and inevitable, underscoring that Christ's suffering and subsequent resurrection were not merely potential but essential for the salvation of humanity. In the unfolding narrative, both the angels and Jesus reiterated this necessity, confirming that God's purpose could not fail and that sin must be properly addressed through the sacrifice of the perfect Lamb, who is Christ. This necessity is further supported by the Old Testament scriptures that foreshadowed Christ's redemptive work.
