“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). Ever since Adam’s sin, every human has been guilty of disobeying God’s righteous laws. Compared to His goodness, “All our righteousnesses are as filthy rags” (Isaiah 64:6b). Even good works cannot make up for wrongs against the holy God. “For the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23). ![]() Likewise, overlooking sin would make the holy God unjust. A judge who pardons law-breakers isn’t a righteous judge. But when Adam and Eve disobeyed God’s commands, He had to punish them. Why did Jesus have to die? - The punishment for sin is death. Most importantly, the Bible explains why Jesus’ death and resurrection provide the only entrance to heaven. Evidence affirms that the sinless Jesus bled and died on a cross. The Scripture says, “For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures” (1 Corinthians 15:3-4). A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he.” Therefore, the plan of salvation He has designed is perfect, just, and upright, and no one could have come up with anything better. In addition, Deuteronomy 32:4 reminds us that “He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. Before we can come to grips with anything God does, we have to first acknowledge that His ways are not our ways, His thoughts are not our thoughts-they are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8). ![]() Usually what we perceive as a “better” method is one that seems right to us. To wonder why God couldn’t find “another way” to do something is to imply that the way He has chosen is not the best course of action and that some other method would be better. When we ask a question such as “Why did Jesus have to die?”, we must be careful that we are not calling God into question.
