How do we know that Christ's power of intercession is effective?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's intercession is effective because it is rooted in His sacrifice, and He always receives what He asks for on behalf of His people.

The effectiveness of Christ’s intercession is grounded in His sacrifice on behalf of His people. As detailed in the sermon, the altar of incense, symbolizing Christ’s intercessory role, had horns representing power, reflecting that His requests are always granted. This is illustrated through the example of Peter, whom Christ prayed for, ensuring that despite Peter's failure, his faith did not fail.

The assurance we have is that Christ, who suffered and died to atone for our sins, continually intercedes based on the justice satisfied by His blood. This presents a powerful truth: His intercession is not a mere request but a claim on justice, affirming that since He has paid the price for our sins, we are always accepted by the Father. Thus, every prayer Christ offers for His people is not only powerful but also effective, reflecting His perfect righteousness.
