What does it mean that Christ is sitting at the right hand of God?

Answered in 1 source

Christ sitting at the right hand of God signifies that His work of redemption is complete and that believers can rest in His finished work.

The act of Christ sitting at the right hand of God, as mentioned in Mark 14:62, symbolizes the completion of His redemptive work. Unlike the Old Testament priests who could never sit, as their work was never finished, Christ's sitting signifies that He has accomplished the full payment for sin, fulfilling the prophecy that 'it is finished' (John 19:30). This resting position invites believers to cease from their own striving and to trust in His finished work. Ephesians 2:6 emphasizes that believers are spiritually seated with Him, underscoring the rest and peace we find in relying upon Christ's total sufficiency for salvation.
