1 John 2:1-2

We Have an Advocate with the Father: Jesus Christ the Righteous

1Jn 2:1  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: 

1Jn 2:2  And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 

1. John’s Desire is that We Experience True Freedom in Christ, No Longer Bound by Sin. – vs. 1a*
1. Romans 6:1-9 
2. If You Fall into Sin Take Comfort You Have An Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous. – vs. 1b*
1. Zechariah 3:1-7 
2. John 14:15-17 
3. Jesus Has Made Satisfactory Payment for Our Sins. – vs. 2a*
1. Hebrews 9:11-14 
4. Jesus Has Made Satisfactory Payment for the Sins of All Men. – vs. 2b*
1. Jesus made sufficient payment for the atonement of all men, but this does not mean that it is efficient to save all from sin. Many who have not been granted saving faith will reject the saving grace of God and be damned to an eternal hell.
