How do we know Christ is the true Mercy-seat?

Answered in 1 source

Romans 3:25 confirms that Christ is the Propitiation, signifying Him as the antitypical Mercy-seat for believers.

In Romans 3:25, the Apostle Paul reveals that God has set forth Christ as the Propitiation, which closely aligns with the term for Mercy-seat in the original language. This connection establishes Christ as the fulfillment of what the Mercy-seat foreshadowed. He is the one through whom God’s wrath is appeased, allowing sinners to have access to God's presence. The imagery of the Mercy-seat emphasizes not only God's holiness but also His grace, as it is here that Jesus becomes the means of reconciliation, highlighting His work as the perfect sacrifice for sin.
