What does the Bible say about the intercession of Christ?

Answered in 10 sources

The Bible teaches that Christ intercedes for sinners at the right hand of God, pleading His righteousness and sacrifice for our acceptance.

The intercession of Christ is a crucial doctrine in understanding how believers are accepted by God. It is evidenced in Romans 8:34, where it states, 'It is Christ that died, yea, rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.' This underscores that His intercession is not a mere wish but is based on His sacrificial death and resurrection. Christ's intercession is characterized by His pleading of justice, as He presents His own merits to the Father in our stead, ensuring that all for whom He died are indeed accepted by God. His role as our intercessor assures believers that they are continuously upheld and represented in God’s presence, reflecting the depth of His mercy and grace towards transgressors.
