How do we know that God hears Christ's prayers for His people?
Answered in 1 source
We know that God hears Christ's prayers because He is the eternal Son of God and His requests align perfectly with the Father's will.
The assurance that God hears the prayers of Christ is rooted in the understanding of Christ as both fully God and fully man. In Psalm 28:6, David exclaims, 'Blessed be the Lord, because He hath heard the voice of my supplications.' This principle extends to Christ, who, being one with the Father, speaks the words of God. Christ’s prayers are always in accordance with God’s redemptive plan, fulfilling the promises set before the foundation of the world.
Moreover, Christ’s intercessory role is emphasized in Hebrews 7:25, stating that He is able to save completely those who come to God through Him because He always lives to intercede for them. This underscores the confidence believers can have in knowing every prayer uttered by Christ carries the authority of God Himself, ensuring that it is heard and will be answered. Thus, our faith in the sovereign grace of God assures us that His will, accomplished through Christ, is perfect and unfailing.
