Why is it important that Jesus was sent by God?

Answered in 1 source

It is important because Jesus being sent by God confirms His divine authority and fulfills the promise of salvation for humanity.

The importance of Jesus being sent by God lies in the affirmation of His divine nature and the authority by which He operates. In John 5:36-37, Jesus states that the works He does are a witness that the Father has sent Him, asserting that His actions establish His identity and mission. Moreover, His sending validates the concept of the Trinity—where God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit operate in perfect unity for the salvation of His people. Without Christ’s sending, we would lack a true understanding of God’s character and love. Jesus being sent is central to the Reformed understanding of grace, reinforcing the belief that salvation is initiated by God’s sovereign will, not by human effort or merit.
