How does Christ serve as our advocate?

Answered in 1 source

Christ serves as our advocate by interceding for us before the Father and ensuring our sins are forgiven.

In 1 John 2:1, it is stated that we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. This indicates that Christ represents us in the heavenly court, interceding on our behalf. His advocacy is rooted in His completed work of atonement, as He has fully satisfied the demands of justice for our sins. When we confess our shortcomings, He stands before the Father, reminding Him of the price He paid, ensuring that our sins are not held against us. This comforting truth allows believers to approach God with confidence, knowing that Christ's righteousness covers their imperfections.
