What does the Bible say about Christ laying down His life?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that Christ willingly laid down His life for His sheep to fulfill God's law and demonstrate His perfect love.

In John 10:17-18, Jesus explains His voluntary sacrifice, stating, 'No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself.' This act showcases His perfect obedience and love for God and for His people, as He fulfilled the law's demands for perfect righteousness. He came to represent His people willingly and enabled their salvation through His perfect sacrifice on the cross, which was planned in eternity and executed in history.
