What does the Bible say about the will of God in Christ's sacrifice?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible reveals that Christ came to fulfill the will of God by offering Himself as the perfect sacrifice, establishing a new covenant.
The Scriptures indicate that Christ's primary mission was to do the will of God the Father, which involved fulfilling the sacrificial system instituted in the Old Testament. Hebrews 10:5-9 emphasizes that God did not desire sacrifices and offerings for sin but prepared a body for Christ to perform God’s will perfectly. This fulfillment was necessary for establishing the new covenant, as indicated in Hebrews 10:9, where Christ takes away the first covenant to bring in the second. His obedience to the will of God is a central tenet of Reformed theology, which teaches that salvation is rooted in God's predetermined plan.
