What does the Bible say about the cause of Christ?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible teaches that Christ's cause is the salvation of His people, which He unwaveringly pursued even to death.
In John 18:37, Jesus states, 'For this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth.' His cause was centered on the redemption of His elect, affirming God's unwavering purpose to save His people. Likewise, believers are called to take up Christ's cause by proclaiming His glory and sharing the message of salvation. This parallels with the Old Testament story of David, who stood against Goliath out of zeal for God's glory and represents the believer's call to uphold God's truth amidst opposition.
