How does Christ make intercession for His people?

Answered in 1 source

Christ makes intercession for His people by appearing before God on their behalf, advocating for their acceptance based on His completed work.

In Hebrews 9:24, we are reminded that Christ has entered into heaven itself to appear in the presence of God for us. This role as our intercessor is critical, as it assures believers that they are represented by Christ in the heavenly courts. He continually advocates for us, not based on our merits, but solely on His sacrifice and righteousness. This intercession is not a generic plea; it is personal and specific to those for whom He laid down His life. As the high priest, He intercedes effectively, ensuring that all the benefits of His atoning work are applied to His people. Thus, believers can have confidence that their standing before God is secure because of Christ’s ongoing mediation.
