Why is Christ's atonement crucial for understanding sons of Jacob?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's atonement is crucial for understanding the sons of Jacob because it is through His sacrifice that their sins are forgiven and righteousness is imputed to them.

The atonement of Christ is central to the identity of the sons of Jacob, as it signifies the means by which God's justice is satisfied on behalf of His people. In 2 Corinthians 5:21, it states that He who knew no sin became sin for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. This teaching echoes through Malachi's reassurance that the 'sons of Jacob are not consumed' because God's covenantal faithfulness, rooted in Christ's work, ensures their eternal security. Thus, believers, termed as sons of Jacob, find their standing before God anchored not in personal merit but entirely in the finished work of Christ.
