1 John 2:1-2 Part 2 of 3

My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father--Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.

 

But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father--Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.

He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, 

Romans 3:25-26  God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood--to be received by faith.

(see all chapter 3)

1 John 4:9-10  This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. (see verses 7-21)
