What does it mean that Christ 'came to do thy will'?

Answered in 1 source

It means that Christ fully obeyed God's law and fulfilled the redemptive plan for humanity.

When Christ declared, 'Lo, I come to do Thy will, O God' (Hebrews 10:7), He spoke of His complete submission to the Father's will and His mission to redeem His people. This statement encapsulates His incarnation, obedience, and ultimate sacrifice. It signifies that His coming was not a mere attempt but a decisive action to fulfill God's promises. His obedience was necessary both in His life and at the cross, fulfilling the requirements of the law perfectly. Thus, by His coming, He ensures that justice is satisfied while extending mercy to sinners. This perfect obedience is what allows us to rest in the finished work of Christ, knowing that our salvation is secured in Him.
