Why is Christ's advocacy important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's role as our advocate is crucial because He intercedes for us before the Father.

Christ serves as our advocate before God, which is vital for believers' assurance of salvation. In His role as an intercessor, Christ not only represents us but also perfects our prayers, bringing them to the Father in a way that aligns with His will. This relationship gives us confidence that we are not alone in our struggles but have the divine support of Christ, who understands our weaknesses. His advocacy means that even when we stumble in faith, we are reassured that our eternal standing with God is secure based on His merit rather than our performance. Thus, believers can have peace and joy, knowing that Christ continually pleads our case.
