Why is Christ our representative for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is our representative because He bore our sins and fulfilled God's law on our behalf.

Christ serves as our representative because He perfectly fulfilled God's law and took on the punishment for our sins. In 2 Corinthians 5:21, it states, 'For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.' This highlights that through Christ's representation, we receive His righteousness, allowing us to stand blameless before God. His obedience and sacrificial death are the foundations of our salvation, showcasing the incredible grace of God that comes only through being united with Christ.
