How do we know that Jesus' intercession is effective?

Answered in 2 sources

Jesus’ intercession is effective because He prays for those given to Him by the Father, ensuring their eternal life and security.

In His high priestly prayer, Jesus specifically mentions those whom the Father has given Him, stating that He has the authority to give them eternal life. This reflects the certainty of His intercession as it is based on the eternal purpose of God. Jesus does not merely pray for anyone but for those who belong to Him. His effective intercession is further underscored by His sacrificial death, where He bore the sins of His people, ensuring their salvation. Thus, the assurance of our salvation rests in His ability to intercede and implement the Father's plan.
