What does the Bible say about the purpose of Christ’s birth?

The primary purpose of Christ's birth was to redeem His people from their sins, as foretold in Scripture. This notion of redemption comes from a deeper understanding of humanity's condition; we are sinners who cannot attain righteousness on our own. The Scriptures affirm this need repeatedly, establishing that it was necessary for the incarnate Son of God to come in flesh to save us. Paul emphasizes this in 1 Timothy 3:16, expressing that God was manifest in the flesh, and Jesus Himself stated that He came to give His life as a ransom for many (Matthew 20:28). The birth of Christ signifies God's profound love and commitment to fulfill His promises to save His people.
