How do we know that Jesus is our only intercessor?

Answered in 1 source

We know Jesus is our only intercessor because Scripture explicitly states that He is the sole Mediator between God and mankind (1 Timothy 2:5).

The biblical affirmation of Jesus Christ as the exclusive intercessor stems from multiple passages that underscore His unique role as the Mediator. 1 Timothy 2:5 declares, 'For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus.' This verse clearly highlights that no other being or system can fulfill this critical role. Additionally, Hebrews 7:25 tells us that He is able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, as He always lives to make intercession for them.

Further, Hebrews 9:24 affirms that Christ has entered into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us. This act reinforces the belief that our prayers and offerings are made acceptable before God only through His mediating role. Understanding that Jesus is our intercessor provides profound encouragement for believers, assuring us that we do not rely on our own merits, but can confidently approach God through the One who intercedes for us.
