Why must Christ suffer for our sins?

Answered in 1 source

Christ must suffer for our sins to fulfill God's holiness and the requirements of justice, bearing the punishment we deserve.

Christ's suffering is essential because it fulfills the requirements of God's holy law, which demands just punishment for sin. In 1 Peter 3:18, it states that Christ suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, to bring us to God. This underscores the depth of God's holiness and justice, whereby sin cannot simply be ignored but must be dealt with appropriately. Thus, Christ's suffering was not only to fulfill Scripture but also to satisfy divine justice, allowing sinners to be reconciled to God through Him.
