What does the Bible say about intercession?

Answered in 25 sources

The Bible describes intercession as the act of reconciling differences, especially between God and His people, with the Holy Spirit making intercession for believers according to God's will.

Intercession, as described in Romans 8:26-27, is a vital part of God's interaction with humanity. It involves the Holy Spirit interceding for us, translating our weaknesses and needs when we do not know how to pray as we ought. This intercession is not a mere attempt; rather, it is effective and aligned with God's perfect will, reconciling us, sinful beings, with our holy God. The Scriptures emphasize that this intercession is for the saints, underscoring the assurance that those who belong to Christ are eternally upheld before the Father.
