How do we know Jesus is our city of refuge?

Jesus is identified as the city of refuge because He fulfills the requirement of providing safety from the avenger of blood, which represents God's law. Just as one had to physically dwell within the city for protection, believers must spiritually abide in Christ to find salvation. His sacrificial death is crucial; it is through His blood that believers are accepted and protected from God's wrath. When we are found in Christ, we stand acquitted and justified, reflecting the perfect safety that was offered in those historical cities.
