How do we know Jesus is our refuge?

Answered in 20 sources

Jesus is our refuge because God the Father appointed Him, God the Son appropriated His righteousness, and God the Holy Spirit applies this truth to our hearts.

In the sermon, it is emphasized that Jesus is appointed as the refuge for sinners by God the Father. He fulfills the role of our refuge as the perfect High Priest who provides a stronghold for His people against judgment. God the Son, through His life, death, and resurrection, appropriates this refuge by satisfying divine justice and establishing righteousness. Lastly, the Holy Spirit applies the reality of our refuge in Christ to our hearts, making it effectual for our salvation and assurance of eternal life.
