Why is it important for Christians to believe in Christ's ascension?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's ascension is crucial because it validates his earthly mission and assures believers of his continuing presence and intercession.

The ascension of Christ into glory, as described in Luke 24:51, is a pivotal event that confirms His victory over sin and death. It demonstrates that Jesus, as our High Priest, now intercedes on our behalf at the right hand of the Father, providing an ongoing connection with God. In Romans 8:34, it is stated that Christ makes intercession for us, which means that believers can find comfort and assurance in knowing that their Savior continually represents them before God. This not only solidifies the believer's acceptance with God but also emphasizes the hope of our eventual resurrection and glorification alongside Christ.
