    Since Jesus Christ lived in the flesh and was "tempted like as we are" (Hebrews 4:15), we have a God who can understand and who desires to be merciful to us. Hebrews 4:16 tells us we can "come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy." We may approach God directly through Jesus Christ, without an intermediary; and trusting in His mercy, we may "boldly" come to Him in Jesus' name (John 14:14). 1 Timothy 2:5 reads: "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."

    • Very good answer. Jesus is our intercessor. No one else. We can go "Boldly to the Throne Of Grace" because of Jesus' Blood.

    • Very good answer, both Jesus and the Holy Spirit intercede for us, why we do we need anyone else?
