Having Jesus as our advocate means He represents us before God, interceding for us and ensuring our acceptance in Him (Hebrews 7:25).
To have Jesus as our advocate signifies that He performs the quintessential role of intercessor on our behalf in the heavenly courts. Hebrews 7:25 declares that He is able to save completely those who come to God through Him because He always lives to intercede for them. This advocacy assures us that whenever we falter or fail, we can approach the throne of grace with confidence, trusting that our Savior is there to plead our case. It emphasizes the ongoing relationship we have in Christ, where His righteousness secures our acceptance. This truth encourages believers, reassuring them that they are never alone in their struggles; Jesus stands ready to advocate for them before God the Father.
