How do we know Jesus was born to die?

Answered in 1 source

The purpose of Jesus' birth was clearly to save His people from their sins, which necessitated His death.

The belief that Jesus was born to die is rooted in the specifics of the Gospel message. As Matthew 1:21 states, He shall save His people from their sins, indicating that the very mission of Christ's incarnation was to provide redemption through His death. The necessity of His death is interwoven throughout scripture, emphasizing that salvation could only be achieved through the shedding of His blood as the perfect sacrifice (1 Peter 1:19). From the moment of His birth, it was evident that He came into the world with a singular purpose: to triumph over sin and death on behalf of His elect, thus fulfilling the divine plan set forth by God even before time began.
