How does the concept of federal headship relate to salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Federal headship signifies that Christ acts as our representative, securing salvation for His elect.

The concept of federal headship is foundational to understanding salvation within Reformed theology. It posits that Adam and Christ are representative heads of humanity. As stated in Romans 5:18, 'Therefore as by the offense of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.' This illustrates that just as sin entered the world through Adam, leading to condemnation, righteousness and life are granted through Christ, our Redeemer. Believers are united with Christ by faith, sharing in His victory over sin and death, which assures us that we are justified before God through His obedience and sacrifice.
