No. We are not obligated to know EVERYTHING about why Christ died to be saved. If that were the case, NO ONE could ever truly be. The message is simple: Jesus died, was buried and was raised to rescue us FROM SIN (1 Corin 15:1-4). This is ALL we are required to believe on FOR SALVATION (Rom 10:9-10, cf. Jn 3:16, 18, 6:40, Acts 16:30-31).
The depths of the Gospel are then discovered AFTER salvation through a process called SPIRITUAL GROWTH (1 Pt 2:2, 2 Pt 3:18, cf. Eph 1:17-23, 4:13-15, Philip 1:9-11, Col 1:9-10).
