Why is the intercession of Jesus important for Christians?
Answered in 1 source
Jesus' intercession is vital as He pleads for believers before God, ensuring their prayers are accepted (Hebrews 7:25).
The intercessory work of Jesus is crucial for Christians as He continually intercedes for them at the right hand of the Father. Hebrews 7:25 states, 'He is able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.' This means that all prayers offered by believers are made acceptable through Christ's mediation. His role as intercessor emphasizes both His priestly function and His authority, providing Christians with assurance that their prayers, no matter how imperfect, are presented before God through the righteousness of Christ.
