What does the Bible say about Jesus' purpose in dying?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that Jesus died to redeem His people and fulfill the requirements of God's justice.

According to Scripture, Jesus' purpose in dying was to serve as the sacrificial Lamb, chosen before the foundation of the world. In Matthew 17:22, He informs His disciples of His impending suffering and crucifixion, underscoring that His death was necessary for the redemption of souls. He reiterates the necessity of His death multiple times throughout the Gospels, emphasizing that He did not come to earth merely as a good example but to bear the full weight of sin and justice on behalf of His people. This truth is further affirmed in Romans 5:6, which states that Christ died for the ungodly, demonstrating God's deep love toward sinners.
