What does the Bible say about why Christ came into the world?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible states that Christ came into the world to save His people from their sins and to accomplish the will of God.

The scriptures reveal that the purpose of Christ's coming was multifaceted, primarily focusing on redemption. In Hebrews 2:9-10, it is articulated that Jesus assumed our human nature for the suffering of death, enabling Him to be a fitting substitute for sinners. He came to accomplish God's will by achieving salvation for His people, as stated in Hebrews 10:7, 'Lo, I come to do thy will, O my God.' His incarnation was not merely an act of compassion but was necessary for the fulfillment of divine justice and mercy, where He, by His death, could properly satisfy the demands of God's righteousness while offering salvation to His elect.
