What does the Bible say about Christ's determination to die for us?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible reveals that Christ was determined to die for His elect, fulfilling God's plan for our redemption (Matthew 17:22-23).

In Matthew 17:22-23, we see Christ clearly stating His impending betrayal, death, and resurrection. This determination was not a fleeting thought; rather, it was rooted in eternity, as He had come into the world specifically to suffer and die for His people. His joy in this sacrifice mirrors the love He holds for His chosen, revealing that His death was a planned act of redemption rather than a tragic accident. Throughout His ministry, He consistently prepared His disciples for this reality, reiterating the necessity of His suffering as the means to secure their salvation (Matthew 16:22-23, Luke 12:50).
