Paragraph:

519 All Christ's riches "are for every individual and are everybody's property." ¹⁸⁷ Christ did not live his life for himself but for us, from his Incarnation "for us men and for our salvation" to his death "for our sins" and Resurrection "for our justification". ¹⁸⁸ He is still "our advocate with the Father", who "always lives to make intercession" for us. ¹⁸⁹ He remains ever "in the presence of God on our behalf, bringing before him all that he lived and suffered for us." ¹⁹⁰
