What does the Bible say about the holiness of Christ's hands?
Answered in 1 source
The holiness of Christ is essential for our prayers to be heard, as only His hands and works are righteous (Psalm 24:3-4).
The Bible teaches that the only hands that are holy belong to Christ. Psalm 24:3-4 poses the question of who can ascend into the hill of the Lord, answering that only those with clean hands and a pure heart can stand in His presence. This underscores that our own righteousness is insufficient; our prayers must be extended through the righteousness of Christ. He is the one who intercedes for us, and it is through His merits that we approach God, recognizing that our need is for a holy Savior who represents us before the Father. This is foundational to understanding the nature of prayer in the context of sovereign grace theology.
