Scripture affirms that Jesus was sent by the Father to accomplish His will and to provide salvation.
The New Testament consistently affirms that Jesus is the sent one of the Father. As noted in John 6:38, Jesus states He came down from heaven not to do His own will but to accomplish the will of the Father. This divine commission demonstrates the cooperative work of the Father and the Son in salvation history. Further, passages like John 5:23 highlight that honoring the Son is intrinsically linked to honoring the Father, confirming the unique relationship and purpose of Jesus' mission. The fulfillment of prophetic scriptures about His coming and ministry underscores the trustworthiness of His identity as the sent one.
