How do we know that Christ's death was purposeful?

Christ's death fulfilled a divine purpose, as supported by Hebrews 2:16 which states that He took on the seed of Abraham to save His people. This intentional act demonstrates that Christ did not die aimlessly; rather, He came to accomplish the plan of redemption. The Old Testament establishes that God promised a Savior (Genesis 3:15), and throughout scripture, Christ's coming was designed to bring about that promise. In John 10:15, Jesus affirms His sacrificial role, saying He lays down His life for His sheep. Thus, the purpose of His death is inseparable from the covenant God made with His people, affirming that He came to save those He chose.
