There Is An Advocate

 

Today's verse is 1 John 2:1-2

     My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 

     And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 

    Yesterday, I saw in a well-known Psalm, a look at the Judgments, with a focus on what happens before the Great White Throne Judgment, and today, what I read in Isaiah foreshadowed the same events. However, here John brings the Good News (The Gospel.) That is in Jesus Christ we need not sin, but if we stumble (scripture is clear that we will) we that are in Jesus Christ have an advocate with the Father. For it is by Jesus Christ that the Father is satisfied, it is through him that our sin is paid for, in full. Yet, he did not die only for those that are redeemed of him, but for the whole world. Therefore, let us not be timid, nor afraid, but proclaim to all as God gives us utterance, that forgiveness is available to all who will come to Jesus Christ. Amen.

To God be the Glory
