How do the priestly garments symbolize Christ's righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

The priestly garments symbolize Christ's righteousness as they represent His divine nature, perfect obedience, and purity necessary for our salvation.

The priestly garments serve as a profound representation of Christ's righteousness. Made of fine linen and decorated with rich colors, these garments depicted purity, divine appointment, and glory. For instance, Aaron's breastplate carried the names of the tribes of Israel, symbolizing Christ's compassion and advocacy before God for His people. Furthermore, the fine linen signifies the imputed righteousness of Christ to believers, affirming that we are clothed in His righteousness and thus justified before God. Ephesians 1:6 states that we are accepted in the Beloved, highlighting how we stand before God, not in our merits but in the perfect righteousness of Christ.
