How do we know the death of Christ fulfills God's will?

In Matthew 17, Jesus explicitly informs His disciples of the impending betrayal, suffering, and death that He must endure, affirming that this is part of God's will. This foreknowledge of events emphasizes Christ's obedience to His Father, underscoring that His sacrifice was not a tragic accident but a deliberate act of obedience to fulfill the divine plan of redemption. The narrative demonstrates that even the actions of those who crucified Him were orchestrated to fulfill God’s sovereign purposes. Thus, the certainty of Christ's death as the will of God provides believers with assurance that their salvation was secured through divinely orchestrated events, fulfilling prophecies laid out throughout Scripture.
