Why is understanding our need for Christ's intercession important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Recognizing our need for Christ's intercession helps us appreciate our reliance on His grace for forgiveness and acceptance before God.

Understanding our need for Christ's intercession is essential because it highlights our position as guilty sinners before a holy God. The example of Joshua, standing in filthy garments, applies to all believers who recognize their sinful state. Before one can grasp the depths of grace, he must first come to terms with his utter helplessness and guilt. As expressed in Zechariah 3, it is only through Christ that we receive mercy and are clothed in righteous garments. This realization cultivates profound gratitude and dependence on God’s grace, reminding us that we contribute nothing to our salvation, but it is all by His doing.
