How do we know Jesus' sacrifice glorified God?

The culmination of Christ's sacrifice is profoundly tied to God's glory. It is through the cross that all His attributes—justice, mercy, and love—are manifested. John 13:31-32 states, 'Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in Him,' illustrating that the crucifixion was not just a tragic event but a purposeful act to exalt the Father. In John 17:1, Jesus requests that the Father glorify Him to glorify the Father in return. This cyclical nature of glory reveals that Jesus’ obedience and sacrifice fulfill God's eternal purpose and bring Him the utmost glory, thereby solidifying the truth that God’s plan for salvation is rooted in His own glory.
