Christ is our holiness because He fulfills the role of both sanctifier and sanctification, as illustrated by the high priest in Scripture.
The assurance that Christ is our holiness lies in the typology presented in Hebrews and Exodus, which depicts the high priest and his garments as a foreshadowing of Christ. The white linen worn by the high priest represents His righteousness, while the blue robe signifies His divine nature. Moreover, Christ’s role in sanctification fulfills the requirements of the law, showing that it is only through Him that we can be accepted before God. His perfection encompasses both His role as the high priest and the sacrifice, reiterating His dual identity as our sanctifier and our holy qualification before God.
