Why Vicarious Worship?

“All our worship of the Father takes place properly within the circle of the life of Jesus Christ which he lived in our human nature in such a way that his whole life formed itself into worship, prayer and praise which he offered to the Father on our behalf” (T.F. Torrance, Theology in Reconciliation, 210-211).

The Gospel is not only about the death of Christ, but it includes the perfect life of Christ that is credited to us in the eyes of God. So even our “response” to the Gospel is made perfect and possible only through Christ Jesus.
