The reason that the God of the Bible requires death as a payment for sins is bc death is what had to happen due of the first sin taking place. Dont worry, i'll explain. Do you know the story of creation, and Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden? Well in the story, after they ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which was the one forbidden thing to do, it says they became aware of  their sin. This started a domino effect. The next sin they realized they were commiting was that they were completely naked. So in an effort to cover(alleviate/forgive) their sin on their own, temporarily, they made coverings out of fig leaves to try to hide their nakedness (sin) from God. They were unable to successfully hide their sin from God tho, and the next time He came to the garden, God found them hiding in the bushes, trying to further hide their sin from Him. This didn't work, of course, and God interrogated them to allow them to understand the seriousness of what they had done. The consequence was that they now had to leave the Garden, and subsequently die, but not until after God made them their first set of clothing that would last, to cover their sin (nakedness) effectively. Im sure you can imagine that leaves would not do the job for long (this illustrates our inability to cover our own sin), so God made their first clothing from animal skin. How do you suppose God managed to acquire the animal skin, though? Well obviously God had to kill an animal, which exposed them to the horror of death for the first time in history, in order to cover their sin (nakedness) sufficiently. Something had to die and blood had to be spilt so that Adam's and Eve's sin could be covered in a way where God was ok with it. This is the basis for why God accepted unblemished animals to be sacrificed in place of a human in order for them to be absolved of the sin that each one will inevitably commit. It only covers your past tho. Its in remembrance/homage to the original sin that caused the domino's to start falling in the first place. Its supposed to be horrific, its punishment. The wages of sin is death.  
  
This functioned only as a temporary atonement of ones sins tho, only worked backwards in time, and had be constantly maintained so one could stay pure in the eyes of God. Just like the animal skin clothing that im sure required plenty of maintenance. But God's plan was not to stop there, he had always planned to eventually come down to break the curse of death by living life without sinning, so he could qualify to be the final unblemished sacrifice that would be able to cover everyone, in perpetuity. Only God can do life without sinning. He knew that, so He came down and did it Himself. He ratified the old covenant of animal sacrifice with His own blood, and instituted a new agreement (covenant) where we goyim (jews too) can qualify to not have to experience eternal spiritual death, by accepting Jesus' sacrifice on the cross as payment for our own sins. There is no more death required to pay for your sins. God cut the israelites a break, and allowed them to use animals in their place for atonement of sins, but only as a temporary solution that was eventually superceded by Jesus Christ's sacrifice of Himself. There is only Plan A when it comes to God's plan. It all makes perfect sense if you're being honest to yourself about it.
