How does Christ defend His people?

Answered in 1 source

Christ defends His followers before accusations, acting as their advocate in both heaven and earth (1 John 2:1-2).

In the Christian faith, Christ acts as our advocate and defender, representing us before threats and accusations from both earthly adversaries and the spiritual realm. 1 John 2:1-2 reassures believers that when they fail, Jesus stands in their defense, demonstrating His continual intercession on their behalf. The image of Christ defending His people illustrates the profound assurance believers have in their salvation, knowing that their standing before God does not rely on their performance but on Christ's finished work. His role as defender emphasizes the grace underlying the believer's relationship with God, reaffirming that they are secure in Him regardless of the accusations they may face.
