Why is Jesus Christ called our advocate?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is called our advocate because He intercedes for us with the Father and defends us despite our sins (1 John 2:1).

The term 'advocate' refers to someone who intercedes on behalf of another, and in the context of our faith, it emphasizes Jesus' role in the believer's life. He stands before God, continually interceding for us, particularly in light of our sinful nature. As the righteous advocate, He provides not only defense but also the assurance that our sins have been dealt with through His perfect sacrifice. This relationship allows believers to approach the Father confidently, knowing we have the Son advocating for us irrespective of our failings.
