What does the Bible say about Jesus doing the will of God?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that Jesus' delight was in doing the will of the Father, which included saving His people from their sins.

Scripture reveals that Jesus expressed His purpose in John 4:34, stating, 'My meat is to do the will of him that sent me and to finish his work.' This demonstrates that His primary focus was fulfilling God’s redemptive plan, which ultimately culminated in His death and resurrection for the sake of His chosen ones. He illustrated that completing the Father's will was a vital source of spiritual nourishment for Him, akin to the physical sustenance we derive from food. In essence, Jesus' mission was characterized by a profound obedience to the Father's will, as exemplified in passages like John 5:30, where He declares, 'I can of my own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.' His obedience underscores the significance of divine elections, and that His coming was not to serve His own agenda but to fulfill the will of His Father.
