Why must Christ die to bring us to God?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's death satisfies God's justice, necessary for our reconciliation to Him.

The need for Christ's death arises from the sinful condition of humanity, inherited from Adam, who brought separation from God through sin (Romans 5:12). The justice of God requires that sin be dealt with, necessitating a substitute to bear the penalty (Isaiah 53:6). Christ's death serves as that substitutionary atonement, fulfilling the demands of justice while demonstrating God's love and mercy (Romans 3:25). Without His sacrifice, there is no access to God, as He alone is the mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5).
