*JESUS OUR ADVOCATE ( 6 )*
*1st John 2:1 My little children, these things write I to you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: Vs 2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.*
This refers to Believers. Jesus is our Advocate with the Father when we sin, So the Holy Ghost knew that sons of God would sin.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Vs 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
The bible refers to a person as the word. The word 'word of God' means understanding of God' or 'revelation of God'. The word of God refers to a person. Jesus is the revelation of the scriptures. He interprets the scriptures to us.
John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
The scriptures testify of the word. To understand what God does when people sin, we are to look at Jesus.
God sees sin as evil.
James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: Vs 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Vs 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
He is teaching on sin and refers to it as evil.
Does God do evil? No!
Does he use evil? He used evil on himself. That is what he did on his son.
John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming to him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
Jesus is the lamb that takes away the evil of the world.
Matthew 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sin.
The word used for 'remission of sins' means to take away / wipe away sins from the records. It doesn't mean the person will not sin again, rather that it will not be counted against the person.
1st Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live to righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
2nd Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Sin came by the First Adam. Righteousness came by the second Adam.
Romans 5:17 For if by one man's offense death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) Vs 18 Therefore as by the offense of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men to justification of life.
Righteousness is a gift. What is freely given must not be purchased. We are made righteous by the obedience of Jesus.
What God did in the Second Adam is greater than what the first Adam did. The death of Jesus supersedes the first Adam.
2nd Corinthians 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not imputing their trespasses to them; and hath committed to us the word of reconciliation.
God doesn't count sin against people in Christ Jesus.
What then happens when believers sin?
Our relationship with God is such that we are his sons. When believers sin, it is God's children that have sinned. In prayer, the Believer ought to learn to use the word 'father' more. This will affect the way he thinks.
1st John 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Vs 2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
