How do we know that Christ's advocacy is effective?
Answered in 1 source
Scripture assures us that Christ's advocacy is effective as He is always heard by the Father (John 11:42).
The effectiveness of Christ's advocacy can be supported by several scriptural affirmations. In John 11:42, Jesus declares, 'I know that you always hear me,' which speaks to the inherent power and authority He possesses as God’s Son. This statement reassures believers that Christ's petitions on our behalf are always granted.
Additionally, Romans 8:33-34 emphasizes that it is Christ who died and rose again, and He intercedes for us. This dual affirmation of His work on the cross and his ongoing intercession illustrates that believers can rest assured that they are not alone in their struggles. The lasting nature of Christ's advocacy ensures that all who trust in Him will never face condemnation but will instead be accepted and justified in God's sight.
