How does Jesus’ death glorify God?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus’ death glorifies God by fulfilling divine justice and displaying His love and mercy.

The death of Jesus is a paramount demonstration of God's glory, as it encapsulates His justice, mercy, and love in a profound way. In Philippians 2:8-11, we see that Christ's obedience 'unto death' leads to His exaltation and the acknowledgment of His lordship by all creation. By becoming sin for us (2 Corinthians 5:21), He paid the penalty due for our transgressions, thereby satisfying divine justice. Additionally, through this act, we are offered unparalleled grace and mercy, enabling us to be reconciled to God. The ultimate outcome is that God's character is magnified as His attributes are perfectly displayed in the redemptive work of Christ.
