What does the Bible say about why Jesus must die?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible indicates that Jesus must die to glorify God and fulfill His eternal purpose of salvation.

In Matthew 16:21, Jesus reveals to His disciples that He must suffer, die, and rise again to demonstrate God's glory. The essential reason for His death is that God must be glorified. This glorification is not about adding to God's essence but making known His perfections, primarily through His Son, Christ. In Philippians 2:6-11, we see that Christ humbled Himself in obedience, which ultimately led to God exalting Him and glorifying Him before all creation.
