How do we know that Christ is our intercessor?

Answered in 2 sources

We know Christ is our intercessor because Scripture affirms that He speaks to God on behalf of His people as our great high priest.

The Bible assures us of Christ's role as our intercessor through His unique position as both God and man and through the work He accomplished on the cross. As stated in Hebrews 4:14-16, we have a great high priest who has passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God. He is interceding for us, which means He represents our needs before the Father. In Luke 22:31-32, Jesus tells Peter, 'Satan has desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: but I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail.' This illustrates that Jesus actively prays for our faith to endure. His intercession assures us of God's grace, enabling us to approach the throne of grace with confidence, knowing that we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous (1 John 2:1).
