Christ Our Advocate
Christ Our Advocate | 1 John 2:1-6 | Jeff Glass
Although Christians must continually acknowledge and confess sin, they are not powerless against it. Fulfilling the duty of confession does not give license to sin. Sin can and should be conquered by the power of the Holy Spirit. John, knowing his readers are all sinner saved by grace, encourages them by letting them know that should they sin, God has provided them an advocate in the Person of Jesus Christ, who is also the propitiation for all their sins. Obedience to His commandments, to His word, becomes the outward manifestation of the love of God, and fellowship with God and His Son Jesus Christ.
