What does the Bible say about the need for Christ's death?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's death was necessary to validate the new covenant, just as a testament requires the death of the testator.

The Bible asserts that where a testament exists, the death of the testator is essential for its validity (Hebrews 9:16-17). Christ's death was necessary not only for the confirmation of the new covenant but also to establish a legal basis for the promises we receive as heirs. This principle shows that the death of Christ as the Mediator of the new covenant was required to fulfill God's plan of salvation, allowing believers to partake in the inheritance promised to them.
