How do we know Jesus is our mercy seat?

Answered in 3 sources

Jesus is described in the New Testament as our mercy seat, fulfilling the sacrificial system as the propitiation for our sins.

The New Testament explicitly identifies Jesus as our mercy seat. In Romans 3:25, Paul refers to Jesus as the one who is our propitiation through faith in His blood. This illustrates that Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament sacrificial system's role, where the high priest would sprinkle blood on the mercy seat on the Day of Atonement. Jesus' sacrificial death not only satisfied God's justice but also provides the means for believers to be reconciled to God, allowing us to stand in His presence. This connection underscores the importance of viewing Christ as the fulfillment of Old Testament types and shadows, offering hope that we can approach God with confidence through Him.
