How does Christ's appointed time relate to our salvation?
Answered in 1 source
Christ's appointed time to die was essential for our salvation as he took upon himself the judgment for our sins (Isaiah 53:5).
Christ's appointed time to die was determined before the foundation of the world and it holds great significance for the salvation of His people. God ordained that Jesus would bear the sins of many, and His sacrificial death at the appointed time served as the means by which justice was satisfied. Isaiah 53:5 reveals that he was wounded for our transgressions and bruised for our iniquities. This means that when believers trust in Christ, they are credited with his righteousness while their sins are imputed to him. The gospel is the proclamation of this redemptive work, assuring believers that through Christ's appointment, they are forgiven and will not face condemnation.
