Why is the intercessory work of Christ important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's intercessory work is vital for Christians as it guarantees their eternal security and ongoing relationship with God (Romans 8:34).

The intercessory work of Christ is crucial for understanding a believer's security and relationship with God. Romans 8:34 emphasizes that it is Christ who died and is at the right hand of God, making intercession for us. This assures believers that they have a mediator who represents them before God, advocating on their behalf for their sins and weaknesses. Without this intercession, believers could not stand justified before a holy God. It is through Christ’s advocacy that believers are continually covered by His righteousness, securing both their salvation and their place in communion with God. Thus, it is Christ’s intercession that assures us of our status as God’s elect and His commitment to our salvation.
