How does the Ark of the Covenant represent God's mercy?

Answered in 1 source

The mercy seat on the Ark symbolizes God's mercy meeting His justice through Christ's sacrifice.

The primary feature of the Ark is the mercy seat, where the blood of atonement was sprinkled, indicating how God's mercy interacts with His justice. This points to Christ's sacrifice on the cross, which satisfies divine justice while allowing for mercy to be extended to sinners. The fulfillment of this mercy in Christ ensures believers that their sins are forgiven, emphasizing the sovereign grace at work in the plan of salvation.
