How do we know that Christ is our advocate?

Answered in 7 sources

The Bible affirms Christ as our advocate in 1 John 2:1, stating that He intercedes for believers before the Father, having already paid the price for our sins.

The assurance that Christ is our advocate stems from biblical truths found in 1 John 2:1, which describes Jesus as 'an advocate with the Father.' This role signifies that Christ represents believers before God, pleading for them based on His completed work on the cross. In addition, Christ's role as the propitiation for our sins confirms His ability to advocate for us effectively, as He has satisfied the demands of God's justice through His sacrifice. The believer can rest assured that they are covered by His righteousness, rather than their own, granting confidence in facing divine judgment.
