What does the Bible say about the purpose of Jesus' death?

The purpose of God in the death of Jesus Christ was not a tragedy to be avoided, but rather the very reason He came. As John 12:23 states, 'The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified.' This glorification occurs as Christ, like a grain of wheat, dies to produce much fruit by redeeming a multitude from sin's curse and populating God's kingdom with justified believers. His death demonstrates God's grace and justice, fulfilling the demands of His righteousness while offering mercy to sinners.
