How does Christ's suffering fulfill God's purpose?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's suffering was predetermined by God to redeem His people and demonstrate His grace and justice.

The necessity of Christ's suffering is rooted in the divine purpose established before the foundation of the world. As seen in Acts 2:22-23, Jesus was crucified according to God's foreknowledge, ensuring that His sacrifice would atone for the sins of the elect. This fulfillment of God's purpose signifies both His righteousness—because every sin must be dealt with—and His graciousness, whereby forgiveness is granted to the undeserving who put their faith in Christ. Thus, Christ's suffering is essential in bringing many sons to glory, showcasing the depth and breadth of God’s redemptive grace.
