My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. And He Himself is the propitiation of our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.
1 John 2:1-2
The New King James Version
King David cried "I have sinned against You and You alone!" ( Psalm 51:4)
When we sin any sin, it is against GOD. Jesus Christ is our advocate. We ask Him to forgive us and He says He forgives us of all unrighteousness.
Many times we are called to stand before man to ask forgiveness and I tell you the truth.....it is far better to stand before a Holy, Just, Loving, and Forgiving God than before a group of Self-righteous, unjust, hypocritical, stiff-necked, holier-than-thou, beam-in-his-own-eye, unloving, unforgiving, man who sets himself up as JUDGE and JURY!!!
God spare us from this kind of judge!
Is there ANY among you without sin? Let HIM cast the first stone!
We have an advocate with the Father, that is, Jesus Christ!
Victory Prayer,
Abba Father,
Let us kneel before Your throne and seek justice from Your mercy, love, grace, and patience. Let us be spared of the untoward judgment of man and his self-righteousness. Let us be humble and repentant before You, oh God.....the One who loves, forgives, and is filled with compassion, mercy, and undying, unconditional love!
In Jesus' Name, I pray. Thank You, my Father!

Thank The Lord for The Gift of His Son and His Agape Love or how could we stand before Him.
ReplyDeleteSo true! He is our One and only Righteous Judge!
ReplyDeleteI thank my God for this because we are none good...no not one (except through the blood of Jesus) then we are a "10"!!
