Christ as our refuge means that He provides safety and security, shielding us from God's wrath and the trials of life.
Christ being our refuge signifies that He is the safe haven for those who believe in Him. As stated in Psalm 62:8, we are encouraged to 'pour out your heart before Him' because He is a refuge for us. This concept is further illustrated through the cities of refuge in the Old Testament, where people could flee to safety from danger. Jesus, as our refuge, protects us not just from physical harm, but primarily from spiritual condemnation by taking our sins upon Himself and suffering in our place. This notion assures us that as long as we remain in Christ, we are safe from the avenger of blood, which symbolizes God's justice and wrath.
