What does the Bible mean by 'holiness to the Lord' in relation to Christ?

Answered in 1 source

This phrase highlights Christ's perfect obedience and His role in enabling our acceptance before God.

The inscription 'holiness to the Lord' on the golden crown worn by Aaron signifies the complete obedience of Christ as our high priest, which is essential for our acceptance. In Exodus 28:36, this phrase serves to remind us that it is through Christ's holiness and righteousness that we gain access to God. Our best works are tainted, but by faith in Jesus, His righteousness covers us, rendering us holy in God's sight. This beautiful exchange where Christ bears our iniquities and covers us with His holiness is foundational to the gospel, stating that we can only stand before God accepted through His merit, not our own.
