What does it mean that Christ came to do the Father's will?

Answered in 1 source

It means that Jesus perfectly obeyed God's sovereign plan to redeem His chosen people (John 6:38).

When Christ stated that He came to do the Father's will, He affirmed His obedience to the divine purpose of redemption. John 6:38 highlights that Jesus came from heaven not to fulfill His own desires but to fulfill God's redemptive plan for humanity. This obedience included His sacrificial death, which was necessary for the atonement of the sins of those chosen by God. The significance of this is profound, as it illustrates that the entirety of salvation history is underpinned by God's sovereign intentions, showcasing the glories of Christ's obedience and the results of His work: the salvation of all who would believe.
