What does the Bible say about Jesus' intercession for believers?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that Jesus intercedes for believers based on His perfect obedience and righteousness, ensuring that God hears His prayers on our behalf.

In John 17, particularly verse 8, Jesus emphasizes His role as the Mediator who presents our needs to the Father. This prayer reflects His devotion and the intimate relationship He has with the Father. The fact that He intercedes based on His perfect righteousness is crucial because it assures us that we are heard, not because of our worthiness but solely because of His merit. As our representative, Jesus brings forth our needs to God and makes His requests known in alignment with God's will, which guarantees that those requests will be granted.
