Salvation
If God loves the world, why didn't He come Himself to die for our sins instead of sending Jesus, His Son?
Quick answer
God the Father sent Jesus, His Son, to die for our sins because all creation was made for the glory of the Son. This reflects the Father's infinite love for the Son and the purpose of redemption.
Full argument
The Father created all things for the glory of His beloved Son, which is why it is fitting that the Son came to redeem what belongs to Him. The Bible teaches that Yahweh, the one true God, created everything alone and for Himself. This establishes the framework for understanding why the Son, rather than the Father or the Holy Spirit, became incarnate to fulfill the plan of salvation. The Scriptures provide numerous affirmations of God's singular role in creation and His purpose in sending the Son for redemption, emphasizing that everything exists for the glory of Yahweh and His Son.
