Why did Christ die on the cross?

Answered in 1 source

Christ died on the cross to satisfy God's holy justice and to redeem His elect.

The purpose of Christ's death on the cross is twofold: to appease the justice of God and to redeem His chosen people. Isaiah 53:5 describes how He was wounded for our transgressions, indicating that His sacrificial death fully satisfies the demands of God's law. Moreover, Romans 3:24-26 elaborates that through Christ's death, we are justified freely by His grace. This means that Christ's death was not a mere invitation for us to come to God, but a necessary payment to release us from the bondage of sin and the curse of the law. The significance of this truth lies in recognizing that it is through the sacrificial blood of Christ that our sins are fully atoned for, making it possible for a holy God to justly declare sinners righteous.
