How do we know Christ answers for us?

The assurance that Christ answers for us comes from His role as our advocate. In 1 John 2:1, we read, 'If any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.' Christ intercedes for those who believe, speaking to the Father in defense of our fallen nature. Just as He silenced the Pharisees in defense of His disciples, He stands for us, affirming that we are justified by His blood and righteousness. This highlights not only His grace but also the rich comfort it provides to sinners aware of their guilt, knowing that we are accepted in the beloved (Ephesians 1:6).
