How do we know that Christ is our federal head?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is our federal head as He represents all who believe in Him, ensuring their righteousness and eternal life.

The idea of Christ being our federal head is rooted in the doctrine of representation found in Scripture. Just as Adam represented all mankind in his transgression, Christ represents all believers in His obedience and righteousness. Romans 5:19 states, 'For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.' This indicates that through Christ's perfect obedience and sacrifice, He secures salvation for His elect. Furthermore, 1 Corinthians 15:45 refers to Christ as 'the last Adam,' highlighting how He fulfills what Adam failed to accomplish. Thus, Christ's role as our federal head assures us that our standing before God is based solely on His righteousness.
