Why is Christ's bearing of our iniquities important?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's bearing of our iniquities is crucial as it establishes our righteousness before God, allowing us to be accepted despite our sinful nature.

The significance of Christ bearing our iniquities lies in the assurance it provides for believers regarding their standing before a holy God. Isaiah 53:4-6 articulates that He bore our griefs and carried our sorrows, fully atoning for our sins. This sacrificial act is what gives us the confidence that, despite our continuous struggle with sin, we are accepted because Christ's righteousness is imputed to us. Consequently, His intercession means that even our best deeds, which are tainted by sin, are also covered by His grace. This profound truth encourages believers to approach God with trust, knowing that our acceptance is not based on our merit but solely on Christ's perfect sacrifice.
