Why is God exalted because of Christ's obedience?

Answered in 1 source

God is exalted because Christ's obedience fulfilled His redemptive plan and demonstrated His holiness and justice.

God’s exaltation of Christ as a result of His obedience, as stated in Philippians 2:9-11, underscores the profound truth that through Christ’s sacrificial death and subsequent resurrection, God's justice and mercy are perfectly displayed. Christ's obedience unto death, even death on a cross, exemplified His complete submission to the Father’s will and His active role in atoning for the sins of His people. This act of obedience not only satisfied God’s justice, demanding that sin be dealt with, but also revealed the depth of God's love for humanity. By raising Christ and giving Him a name that is above every name, God affirms that all glory and reverence belong to Jesus. Ultimately, every knee will bow and every tongue confess His lordship, demonstrating that obedience to God leads to glory and exaltation.
