What does the Bible say about the purpose of Christ's suffering?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that Christ's suffering was a necessary part of God's plan for salvation, as it fulfills His covenant of grace.

According to scripture, particularly in Romans 5:6-8 and Galatians 4:4-6, Christ's suffering was preordained from eternity as part of God's sovereign plan for redemption. He came into the world resolutely determined to fulfill His covenant responsibilities as our Surety. His suffering and subsequent death were not random but divinely appointed events meant to glorify God and provide salvation to His people. By suffering in our stead, Christ accomplished what we could not and exemplified His unchanging resolve in the face of adversity.
