What does it mean that Jesus' death was predetermined?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' death was predetermined by God's divine plan to save His elect from before the foundation of the world.

The concept of Jesus' death being predetermined is foundational to Reformed theology and is supported by various Scripture passages affirming that His sacrifice was part of God's eternal plan. In Acts 2:23, Peter speaks of Jesus being delivered up by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God. This reinforces the idea that Christ’s death was not a happenstance but a significant event orchestrated by God to achieve redemption for His chosen ones. Furthermore, Revelation 13:8 refers to Christ as the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world, indicating that God had a plan in place for redemption even before humanity fell into sin. This sovereign orchestration of events highlights the grace and mercy of God, who prepared salvation in advance for those He would call.
