The Value of Jesus’ Death for God

Jesus’ suffering and death on the cross has both infinite and eternal value for both God the Father as well as those trust in Christ as their Savior. From the divine perspective, Jesus is “the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29), and this because He went to the cross as the Father directed (John 6:38; 8:42; 12:27; cf., Matt 26:39, 42; Heb 10:7). Jesus died in our place (Rom 5:8; 1 Cor 15:3-4), “the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God” (1 Pet 3:18), and we are redeemed “with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ” (1 Pet 1:19). Now, the Father is forever satisfied with the payment of Christ on the cross who paid our sin debt in full (Heb 2:9; 1 John 2:2; 4:10). There’s nothing more to pay. Jesus paid it all! Though Jesus suffered for our sins for only a few hours on the cross, His death had infinite and eternal value and saves forever those who trust in Him as Savior.
