How does Jesus intercede for believers?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus intercedes for believers by presenting His atoning sacrifice before the Father, ensuring our acceptance.

In Hebrews 7:25, we learn that Christ 'is able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.' Jesus, as our great high priest, continually advocates for us at the throne of grace. His intercession is not based on our merit but on His perfect righteousness and the sufficiency of His sacrifice. He represents our needs and failures to the Father, ensuring that we are met with mercy rather than judgment. This role as our intercessor gives us confidence in prayer, knowing that we are heard because of Christ's advocacy, which is rooted in His finished work on the cross.
