What is the relationship between Christ and the believer as a substitute?

Answered in 1 source

Christ serves as the believer’s substitute, securing their righteousness and salvation.

The relationship between Christ and the believer is defined by substitution; He stands in the place of believers, ensuring their righteousness before God. This relationship is established in the eternal covenant where Christ served as our surety. His perfect life, sacrificial death, and ongoing advocacy make it clear that He is our substitute at every stage—during His earthly ministry and continuing in heaven as our mediator. This relationship culminates in the assurance that believers, through Christ, are seen as faultless before the Father.
