We have an advocate.

"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" (1 John 2:1 KJV). We have an Advocate with the Father, the One Who intercedes for us and who sits at the right hand of the Father. He paid the price for our sins by taking them to the cross where He hung and died for the world. Then, on the third day He rose from the grave, for death did not get the victory over Him. Victory over sin is found exclusively in the cross, where all sin was defeated two thousand years ago. Jesus Christ is our Lord, the Almighty, the All Powerful, the Redeemer of Heaven and of Earth, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End, and the Alpha and the Omega. We have a friend in Jesus, and He will never leave us nor forsake us. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever more. He never changes, even if we do. He remains the same. The Lord holds to His promises and He is true to His Word. Who can understand Him? He is able to do all things in our lives, but He is limited to only what we allow Him to do in our lives. He can move a nation, a city, and even a people. There's no stopping Him. We, the human race, His creation, tend to stop God from doing what He enjoys to do in our lives, and that is His holiness and love. Without His holiness and love, we will continue as little children or babes in the Lord. God bless you. Amen
