If you are a Christian, the Bible says that the Son of God intercedes when you fall ...
My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. (1 John 2:1)
As you strive to walk by faith through a world crippled by sin, know that your salvation is completely secure ...
Jesus, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood. Therefore He is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through Him, seeing that He lives forever to make intercession for them. (Hebrews 7:24-25)
Note that Christ doesn't save 'from' but 'to' the uttermost. Obviously, He sets us free from the penalty of sin but the greater point is that He saves us 'to' something ... a 'forever' salvation.
Christ is 'able to save to the uttermost' ... no matter how defiled you are by sin and the extent of your guilt. You may believe yourself on the edge of hell's chasm, deserving to fall: But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound. (Romans 5:20)
Christ is 'able to save to the uttermost'. Though you may feel as though you're in the lowest dungeon of life's 'castle of despair', the promise remains ... He is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. (Psalm 34:18)
