My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father-Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. I John 2:1
It is God’s desire for us to live Holy lives. It is possible because it says, “So that you will not sin.” But, we are human and our Creator knows that. In His perfect love, perfect timing and perfect wisdom, He gave us a perfect advocate to plead our case and say, “Don’t hold it against them, I’ll take the consequence.” WOW!!!!!
As our Savior Jesus already took the blame, and as our advocate He stands before God as our defense lawyer. He never loses a case.
Love,
Gretchen
