The reason why is because God said so. Are you asking what Christ's death means?
If yes the death of Christ is the physical manifestation of the pain and suffering the God under went to forgive us of our sins. As we can not comprehend true deep Spiritual pain, God illustrated it for us in a way the we could grasp on the cross (which at the time was the absolute worst way to die)
Now that we can grasp the sacrifice God underwent we have been to simply accept it, if we want to be covered under the attonement offered.
