How do we know Jesus fulfills the role of the mercy seat?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus fulfills the mercy seat by being our propitiation for sins, uniting mercy with God's justice.

The fulfillment of the mercy seat by Jesus is articulated in Romans 3:25, where Paul describes Christ as the propitiation through faith. The Old Testament's description of the mercy seat as the place where sins were covered is revealed in the New Testament as being fully realized in Christ's death and resurrection. His sacrifice not only provides forgiveness but also satisfies the wrath of God against sin, allowing believers to approach the Father with confidence, as the mercy seat once facilitated divine communion.
