He did it to destroy death and for our Salvation that shows us love is stronger than death and sin

Why was suffering necessary to do that? Or was it?

How does that cross "save" us?

Since sin entered into man completely attached to man's free will it was a free gift by God to suffer for atonement for our sins.God does not have to do ANYTHING. The cross is an act of Love

By the Resurrection destroying death.Without the Cross there is no Resurrection
