1 John 2:1

This verse is amazing. The writer in 1 John does not want people to fall into sin. Much like a parent or guardian doe snot want their children to fall into sin. This is a message of precaution. But like the rest of the Bible he does not leave us with just not wanting us to sin. He explains that if anyone sins with have an Advocate in heaven on our behalf. The definition of an Advocate is to speak plead or argue in favor of. That Advocate is Jesus himself. He is in heaven to plead for us and to explain to God that he does know us. When we get to heaven we want God to say I know you, come on in.
This Advocate is very special though. It would do us no good to have an Advocate who did not come down here. He is an example to us on how to live our life's, which is sin free. Praise God that he loved us enough to send His Son to die for us, that we might have an Advocate on our behalf.
