How do we know Christ's intercession is true?

Answered in 15 sources

Christ's intercession is affirmed in Scripture, notably in Romans 8:34, where it asserts that He always intercedes for us based on His righteousness.

The truth of Christ's intercession is underscored in Romans 8:34, which states that He is at the right hand of God making intercession for us. This theological position is rooted in the understanding that Christ, through His death and resurrection, secured our justification and now pleads our case with the Father. Unlike earthly intercessors who might plead for favors, Christ intercedes based on His righteousness and our union with Him. His advocacy is not based on our merit but rather on the perfect work He accomplished on the cross, ensuring that God's justice is fully satisfied for all those who believe in Him.
