How do we know that Christ is our representative in salvation?

Answered in 2 sources

Christ acts as our representative by defeating sin and death on our behalf, just as David defeated Goliath for Israel.

The sermon makes clear that David represents Christ in battle against Goliath, just as Christ is our representative in the spiritual battle against sin and death. Just as David faced Goliath on behalf of the people of Israel, so Christ faced the ultimate enemies of humanity—sin and death. The victory that David achieved by taking down Goliath signifies the greater victory Christ accomplished through His death and resurrection. The assurance we have that Christ is our representative lies in His completed work of salvation, guaranteeing that not one of His chosen will be lost. This aligns with the Reformed understanding of substitutionary atonement, where Christ stands in our place to secure our salvation.
