How do we know that Jesus was foreordained to die for our sins?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible affirms that Jesus was predestined to be our Savior before the foundation of the world, fulfilling God's eternal plan.
The doctrine of predestination regarding Jesus Christ is clearly articulated in 1 Peter 1:20, which states that He was foreordained before the foundation of the world. This emphasizes that God's plan for redemption was established long before creation and that Christ's sacrificial death was not an accident but a deliberate act by God to save His people. Acts 2:23 also reaffirms this, stating that Jesus was delivered up by God's determinate counsel and foreknowledge, underscoring the divine orchestration of redemption history. Thus, our confidence lies in God’s sovereignty and His perfect plan, assuring us that Jesus was chosen to bear our sins.
