Scripture affirms God's intercession for believers through both Jesus and the Holy Spirit, as seen in Romans 8.
In Romans 8:34, Paul writes, 'Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.' This verse assures believers that Jesus Himself advocates for them before the Father. Additionally, in Romans 8:26, it is stated, 'the Spirit ... maketh intercession for us with groanings that cannot be uttered.' Both the Son and the Holy Spirit play vital roles in intercession, emphasizing God’s deep care and commitment to His people’s spiritual welfare.
