What does the Bible say about the purpose of Jesus' birth?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible states that Jesus was born to save His chosen people, fulfilling God's gracious purpose for salvation.
The purpose of Jesus' birth is deeply rooted in the divine plan of salvation orchestrated by God the Father. According to John 3:16-17, God sent His only begotten Son into the world not to condemn it, but that the world might be saved through Him. This act of sending Jesus into the world as a human was essential for the redemption of a people chosen by God since before the foundation of the world, as reflected in Revelation 13:8. The birth of Christ signifies the initiation of God's plan to glorify His Son and to redeem His chosen people who are lost in sin and unable to save themselves.
