Helaman 14:15
For behold, he surely must die that salvation may come; yea, it behooveth him and becometh expedient that he dieth, to bring to pass the resurrection of the dead, that thereby men may be brought into the presence of the Lord.
Christ must die the infinite death, the death that affects all mankind and all created things. It is expedient that He die so that salvation can come, even the resurrection of all, to bring us back into the presence of Heavenly Father. Jesus is the only one who could suffer death that would atone for the sins of all people. “He only could unlock the gate of heaven and let us in” (See LDS hymn “There is a Greehilll Far Away”). Thus, it was expedient that He die. Expedient means: important, necessary, advantageous, useful, beneficial, vital. Jesus is the Savior and Redeemer of all.
