Scripture declares that Christ's crucifixion was foreordained by God from eternity.

The Bible indicates that the death of Christ was not an accident but a part of God's eternal plan. Acts 2:23 points out that Jesus was delivered up by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, highlighting that both the actions of men and God's sovereign will aligned to accomplish salvation. This foreordained plan underscores the doctrines of grace, where God's purpose in the redemption of His people is evident in the sacrifice of Christ. The crucifixion was the appointed death for the appointed people, demonstrating God's sovereignty in salvation history.
