Why is it important for Christians to understand that they have an advocate?

Answered in 1 source

Understanding that we have an advocate is crucial for Christians as it assures them of Christ's continual intercession and the forgiveness of sins.

The concept of Jesus as our advocate is pivotal for nurturing the faith of believers. It reassures us that even when we sin, we are not cast away from God's grace but are instead represented by Christ in the heavenly court. His position as our mediator means that our failures do not unravel our standing before God; instead, they highlight our dependence on His righteousness. Believers can rest in the promise that, as Hebrews 7:25 states, He is able to save completely those who come to God through Him, because He always lives to intercede for them.
