How do we know Jesus' determination in the Incarnation is true?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' determination to take hold of humanity is shown by His steadfast commitment to fulfill the Father's covenant and His role in redemption.

The truth of Jesus' determination in the Incarnation is substantiated through Scripture, particularly in the way He actively took hold of humanity. As expressed in Hebrews, 'He taketh not hold of angels, but of the seed of Abraham he taketh hold.' This indicates His purposeful choice to identify with fallen humanity to effectuate salvation. Furthermore, the eternal covenant made with the Father underscores that Jesus was resolved to embrace His role as the Redeemer, leading to the sacrificial work He accomplished on the cross. His determination is further reflected in His obedience to the Father's will, even unto death.
Scripture References: Hebrews 2:16, Acts 20:28, Philippians 2:8
