What does the Bible say about the mercy seat?

Answered in 2 sources

The mercy seat, described in Exodus 25, symbolizes Christ as our propitiation and cover for sin.

The mercy seat is a crucial symbol in the Bible, depicted in Exodus 25:17-22 as a slab of pure gold above the Ark of the Covenant. It represents Jesus Christ, who is our mercy seat and propitiation. Paul expounds on this in Romans 3:24-25, stating that God presented Jesus as a mercy seat through faith in His blood, highlighting both His righteousness and grace. When we come to God through Christ, we are guaranteed acceptance, for Christ's sacrifice covers our sin.
