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

The purpose of Jesus' sacrifice is clearly articulated in Scriptures like 1 Timothy 1:15, which states, 'Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.' His sacrificial death was not just a random act; it was purposed from eternity to satisfy God's justice and redeem His people. The entire narrative of the Old Testament foreshadows this saving act, as seen in Genesis 3 and throughout the sacrificial system, culminating in Christ, our Passover lamb (1 Corinthians 5:7). Thus, His coming was intentional, aiming at the salvation of those whom the Father had given Him.
