How do we know Jesus Christ is our mercy seat?

In Christian theology, Jesus Christ is identified as the mercy seat, a term derived from the Hebrew 'Kapporet,' emphasizing His role in atonement. The Ark of the Covenant, with its mercy seat, was where God's presence dwelt and where mercy was extended to His people. In the New Testament, Hebrews 9:24 tells us that Christ has entered into the heavenly Holy of Holies, presenting His blood as a perfect sacrifice. Thus, through faith in Christ, believers are assured of their acceptance before God. His blood, symbolically represented in the Old Testament sacrificial system, is the means by which we are cleansed and justified, affirming His role as our mercy seat in a covenant relationship with God.
