How do we know that Jesus' forsakenness was part of God's eternal plan?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture clearly states that Jesus was the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world.

We understand that Jesus' forsakenness was part of God's eternal purpose through various scriptural affirmations. Revelation 13:8 refers to Jesus as the 'Lamb slain from the foundation of the world,' indicating that His role as our sacrificial Lamb was predetermined before creation. Additionally, Ephesians 1:4 emphasizes that we were chosen in Him before the world began, showcasing that God's entire plan for redemption was set in motion long before the fall of man. It reinforces that Jesus' suffering and forsakenness were not accidental or coincidental but were designed by a sovereign God who had a predetermined plan to save His elect. The coordinated fulfillment of prophecy surrounding His death and the events of the crucifixion further affirm that every action taken was part of God’s foreordained counsel, highlighting the certainty and precision of God's divine plan.
