Answered in 1 source
Christ's purpose in coming was to save His people from their sins, highlighting His role as Savior and the importance of holiness.
The significance of Christ's coming, as stated in Matthew 1:21 and reiterated in 1 John 3:5, lies in His mission to save humanity from the bondage of sin. This mission encompasses not only delivering believers from the penalty of sin—eternal damnation—but also offering freedom from its power in their daily lives. Salvation entails a comprehensive restoration, where believers are not only justified before God but are also empowered to live righteously. This underscores that true salvation productively transforms lives, equipping believers for holiness and aligning their lives with God’s purposes.
