How does God's purpose relate to Christ's death and resurrection?
Answered in 1 source
God's purpose in Christ's death and resurrection was to redeem sinners and fulfill His plan of salvation.
The death and resurrection of Christ are deeply intertwined with God's eternal purpose for humanity. Ephesians 1:4-5 reveals that believers were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world, and His sacrifice was the means by which God's redemptive plan is realized. As stated in 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures and was raised on the third day, fulfilling prophecies and God’s design to save His people. This act of redemption exemplifies not only God's justice in providing a substitute for our sins but also His mercy in assuring eternal life through faith in Jesus.
