How do we know that Jesus is our advocate?

Answered in 12 sources

We know Jesus is our advocate through the witness of Scripture, particularly in passages like 1 John 2:1 that affirm His role as our intercessor.

The certainty of Jesus Christ as our advocate is firmly rooted in the teachings of Scripture. 1 John 2:1 explicitly identifies Him as the righteous advocate we have with the Father. Additionally, Romans 8:34 emphasizes that Christ, who died and was raised, is at the right hand of God and intercedes for us. Such affirmations in the Bible provide unwavering assurance to believers that Jesus actively represents us and defends us against the accusations of sin. His advocacy is not based on our merit, but solely on His merit and divine love.
