How does Christ's intercession benefit believers?

The benefits of Christ's intercession for believers are manifold. First, it affirms that believers are loved and accepted by God because of Christ's perfect sacrifice. Romans 8:38-39 assures us that nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus. Second, as expressed in Ephesians 3:12, through faith in Christ, we have boldness and access to God with confidence. This means believers can approach God’s throne of grace to find mercy and obtain help. Lastly, the intercessory work of Christ demonstrates His active involvement in the lives of believers, offering support and strength, especially during trials and temptations, as noted in Hebrews 4:15-16. This ensures that Christians never face their struggles alone but have a compassionate Savior advocating for them.
