What does the Bible say about the purpose of Jesus?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that Jesus came to save His people from their sins and fulfill the covenant of grace.

According to the Scripture, Jesus' purpose for coming to earth was explicitly stated in Matthew 1:21: 'Thou shall call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins.' This mission reflects the heart of the gospel message and emphasizes that His work was to atone for the sins of His people, satisfying divine justice. Throughout His ministry, Jesus consistently taught the truth about Himself and His mission, correcting misconceptions about establishing an earthly kingdom. Instead, He emphasized that the kingdom of God is spiritual, characterized by righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit (Romans 14:17). His life and sacrificial death completed the redemptive plan orchestrated by God from eternity, allowing believers to enjoy fellowship with Him.
