Answer: Jesus died as a perfect sacrifice to pay the penalty for human sin, thus reconciling humanity to God.

Biblical Explanation:

Sin's Penalty: The Bible states, "the wages of sin is death" (Romans 6:23). All humanity has sinned (Romans 3:23).

The Atonement: Jesus' death was a voluntary act to take on this penalty: "For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God" (1 Peter 3:18). "God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God" (2 Corinthians 5:21).

Fulfillment of Prophecy: His death fulfilled numerous Old Testament prophecies about the Suffering Servant (Isaiah 53).
