These words of confirmation were given to inspire faith in those who witnessed the scene, and to strengthen the Saviour for His mission. Notwithstanding that the sins of a guilty world were laid upon Christ, notwithstanding the humiliation of taking upon Himself our fallen nature, the voice from heaven declared Him to be the Son of the Eternal.

Disse stadfæstende ord lød for at indgyde tro i dem, der var vidne til denne begivenhed, og for at styrke Frelseren til hans hverv. På trods af, at en skyldig verdens synd var lagt på Kristus, på trods af den ydmygelse, det var for ham at påtage sig vor faldne natur, forkyndte røsten fra Himmelen, at han var den evige Guds Søn.
