Christ Is Our Advocate to Father
Apostle John who enjoys delightful fellowship with God, desires that his spiritual children enjoy the same fellowship & writes to tell them how. God is Light and to be in fellowship with Him means walking in the light of His commandments. God is love, and thus His children must walk in love. And God is life, and those who desire fellowship with Him must possess spiritual life, which begins with spiritual birth through faith in Jesus Christ.
Lord, we’ll Love You & One Another: 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 for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world (1Jn 2:1-2) Those who Obey God’s word truly show how completely they love Him. That’s how we know we live in Him. Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Christ did… (And His) commandment (is) to Love one another (1Jn 2:5-7). Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you (1 John 2:15).
Father, reveal to me any areas of
unconfessed sin; and also reveal
to me any areas of unknown sin.
Draw me through Your grace;
and replace my waywardness
with the fruit of Your Spirit.
Thank You Lord for providing
Jesus Christ as my Advocate
with You. In His holy name, Amen.
Lord Jesus, we confess not being
consistent in doing what You say.
Although You understand ourfalling,
we don’t want neglect trying to
obey for that will be hypocritical.
We don’t want to be a liar nor
not living in the truth. Help us Lord
to saturate ourselves in Your Words
and purpose in our hearts to obey
as our gratitude and love to You.
And help us love one another. Amen.
Holy Spirit, we need wisdom and help in this battle against the world. Help us recognise the world seeks to shape and satisfy cravings that only You God can truly satisfy. This lifelong battle with worldliness can’t be won by personal willpower. Help us replace love for the world with a love that won’t disappoint. In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
