Christ, our mediator, intercedes for us and stands in our place before God, presenting us as faultless.
Christ being our mediator is pivotal in Christian theology, as it emphasizes His role in interceding for us before God. 1 Timothy 2:5 states that 'there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.' This means that Christ is our representative, who took upon Himself our sins and bears the weight of our guilt so that we might be presented faultless before God (Jude 1:24). Through His advocacy, believers are assured that they can approach God with confidence, knowing their sins have been fully atoned for, and they are credited with Christ's righteousness rather than their own.
