What does the Bible say about the importance of Christ's intercession?
Answered in 1 source
Christ's intercession is vital because it is through Him that sinners can approach God, as our prayers are accepted only by His merit.
According to scripture, particularly in Hebrews 4:14-16 and Hebrews 7:25, Christ serves as our great high priest who intercedes for us at the right hand of God. Without His intercession, even our best deeds and prayers would be considered as sin due to our fallen nature. The golden altar of incense in Exodus 30 symbolizes this intercessory role. It is through Christ that believers gain access to God, and His presence assures us that our spiritual sacrifices and prayers are acceptable to God. Apart from Christ, our offerings and prayers cannot be accepted.
