55问：基督如何为我们代求？

答：基督一直以我们的本相来到天父的面前（来9:12，24），本着祂在地上顺服与牺牲的功劳（来1:3），为我们代求，宣告祂必赐予信徒一切恩赐与恩典的意愿（约3:16；17:9，20，24）；驳回所有一切对他们的控告（罗8:33-34），使他们能以在每日软弱跌倒的事上（罗5:1-2；约壹2:1-2），存着无亏的良心（彼前3:16，21），坦然无惧地来到神的施恩宝座前（来4:16），不论名份（弗1:5）或服事如何，都得蒙悦纳（彼前2:5）。

Question 55: How does Christ make intercession?

Answer: Christ makes intercession, by his appearing in our nature continually before the Father in heaven, in the merit of his obedience and sacrifice on earth, declaring his will to have it applied to all believers; answering all accusations against them, and procuring for them quiet of conscience, notwithstanding daily failings, access with boldness to the throne of grace, and acceptance of their persons and services.
