How does Jesus act as our advocate?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus acts as our advocate by interceding for us before God the Father, as described in 1 John 2:1.

In 1 John 2:1, we are assured that we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. This means that when we sin, rather than facing condemnation, we have Christ pleading our case based on His completed work of atonement. His role as our advocate encapsulates His intercessory work, where He represents us before the Father, assuring us of His righteousness covering our sins. This assurance provides comfort to believers, reinforcing that our salvation does not depend on our works but entirely on His merits as the perfect Mediator, thus allowing us to approach God's throne with confidence.
