How do we know Jesus's intercession for us is effective?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus's intercession is effective because He is a righteous advocate before the Father, guaranteeing believers' acceptance.

The effectiveness of Jesus's intercession is rooted in His identity as the righteous advocate before God, as stated in 1 John 2:1. His unique position allows Him to represent believers without failure, effectively reconciling them to God. This intercession is supported by His atoning sacrifice; because He stands before the Father with the evidence of His suffering and righteousness, believers are justified and declared not guilty. Romans 8:34 also reminds us that it is Christ who died and rose again, and now sits at the right hand of God making intercession for us. Through Christ, believers can confidently approach God, knowing that their advocate is both God and man, ensuring that His intercession is always accepted.
