Why did Christ need to die?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's death was necessary to pay the penalty for sin and to establish a righteousness that sinners cannot achieve.

Christ had to die to fulfill His role as the substitute for His people, taking upon Himself the penalty for their sins. As the perfect Lamb of God, His death was a necessary sacrifice that satisfied God's justice, thereby establishing a righteousness that could be imputed to those He represented. Hebrews 2:14-17 explains that Christ's death was necessary for Him to become a merciful and faithful high priest, making reconciliation for the sins of the people. Without His death, there would be no profound payment for sin and no means for sinners to be justified before God.
