What does it mean to be a representative in Christ?

In Reformed theology, Jesus Christ serves as our federal head, contrasting Adam’s disobedience with His obedience (Romans 5:19). Through Adam’s fall, many were made sinners, but through Christ's righteousness, many shall be made righteous. This concept highlights that just as sin was credited to us through Adam, righteousness is credited to us through faith in Christ. His identity as the unblemished Savior, conceived by the Holy Spirit, allows Him to represent humanity perfectly before God and provide salvation by grace.
