What does the Bible say about the passive obedience of Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that Christ humbled Himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross, demonstrating His passive obedience for our salvation.

The passive obedience of Christ is intricately tied to His death and the purpose for which He came into the world. As stated in Philippians 2:8, Christ willingly humbled Himself and became obedient unto death, showcasing His submission to the Father's will. Unlike His active obedience, where He fulfilled all commandments during His life, His passive obedience is primarily highlighted through His suffering and sacrificial death on the cross. In this act, He bore the wrath of God for sinners and fully satisfied the demands of divine justice, providing a way for those who believe to be reconciled with God.
