Romans 5:6-8 says, “For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

Most important reason: Jesus said so! He only gave "the sign of the Prophet Jonah;" and He told Thomas, "Blessed are those who have not seen, and have believed."

In John 17:1-5 Christ prayed, “Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. I have brought you glory... Read More on earth by completing the work you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.”
