How does Christ advocate for us as our substitute?

Answered in 1 source

Christ advocates for us by serving as our mediator and continues to intercede for believers before God.

In the Reformed understanding of salvation, Christ continues His role as our substitute even after His ascension. In Hebrews 7:25, it states, 'He ever liveth to make intercession for us.' This means that He not only accomplished redemption through His work on the cross but also actively presents our case before the Father. As believers falter in their journey, His constant intercession reassures us of our standing before God, rooted in His righteousness rather than our shortcomings. This advocacy emphasizes the security of our salvation in Christ, who pleads on our behalf.
