Answered in 1 source
God's pleasure in His Son signifies His approval of Christ's perfect righteousness and redemptive work.
The statement from God, 'This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased,' highlights the exceptional nature of Christ's righteousness and His role in fulfilling the demands of the law on behalf of humanity. God’s pleasure in His Son affirms that Jesus' life, death, and resurrection perfectly align with God’s redemptive plan. This approval not only underscores Jesus' qualifications as our Savior but also offers believers assurance that they are accepted in the beloved, united with Christ in His righteousness. Thus, God’s pleasure in His Son is foundational to understanding the believer’s standing before God and their identity in Christ.
