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. 1 John 2:1
When John wrote this letter, he probably knew quite well that the 'if' conditional here would likely be met many times as we strive to live a sinless life. We need one advocate, and we need Him a lot... no, we need Him constantly. When all it takes is the mere thought of a sin, then we are in it more than we think. Repentance may have begun at the altar back in the day, but it is something we must practice and pray for as we walk with the Savior. It seems this is one Advocate we need to keep on a prayer retainer.
In Christ alone!
