And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous;

 Advocate with the Father:

 

1 John 2:1

1 My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous;

 

            Here John is writing words of wisdom to help us see how to keep from sinning. We need God’s wisdom to show us the way. God’s desire is that we do not sin. He doesn’t say, “Well, they’re just human. They can’t help themselves. They are going to sin sooner or later.” His will is that we stop altogether. But, if we do happen to sin, He doesn’t abandon us to our own just deserts. He provides us with our very own attorney … and not just any attorney … Jesus Christ, the righteous. He, never having sinned, though tempted in all things just like we are tempted, could very easily say, “They’re getting what they deserve. I resisted. Why can’t they?” Instead, He does all He can to help us turn away from those sins and not do them again. But we have to be willing and put forth the effort.

 

If you could hear God speak, I believe this is what He would say:

            "You know that it is not the desire of your Father that you sin. But if you do sin, I am there to plead your cause. I am there to comfort you in time of need. I will plead your case, if you will but let Me. I will draw you unto the Father, as you draw unto Me. If you let Me, I will bring you into the Father’s forgiveness.”

 

            28. While it is no longer my nature to sin, it is possible that I might sin. If I should sin and confess it, Jesus pleads my case before the Father.
