Why is intercession of Jesus important for Christians?
Answered in 2 sources
Jesus' intercession is vital because it assures us of His ongoing advocacy and the righteousness that secures our eternal salvation (1 John 2:1-2).
The intercession of Jesus Christ is a profound comfort for Christians, as it signifies that our salvation is secured through His continual advocacy before the Father. 1 John 2:1-2 explains, 'If any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: and he is the propitiation for our sins.' This underscores that Christ not only bore our sins but also continually pleads for us. His intercession assures us that we need not fear condemnation; instead, we can have confidence in our salvation because He has met the demands of justice and continues to mediate on our behalf.,
