Advocate

1 John 2:1 (Amplified Bible)


MY LITTLE children, I write you these things so that you may not violate God's law and sin. But if anyone should sin, we have an Advocate (One Who will intercede for us) with the Father--[it is] Jesus Christ [the all] righteous [upright, just, Who conforms to the Father's will in every purpose, thought, and action].

Many Christians today, who are living in broken fellowship, would be living victorious lives in Christ if they knew that Jesus was their Advocate. The Word shows us that if we sin we have an advocate with the father. Consider the meaning of the word "advocate" In Webster's dictionary we read:" one who pleads the cause of another in a court of law; one who defends. Christ is our defender. He is always there, at the right hand of God, ready to come to our aid, to intercede on our behalf. The Word declares that when we confess our sins, He is righteous and faithful to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness, to wipe them out as through they had never been. No Christian should ever remain in broken fellowship any longer than it takes to ask forgiveness. What the father forgives He forgets. A child of his should never dishonor His Word by ever thanking of his sins again.

Have a Blessed Day
