How do we know Jesus is our Advocate?

Answered in 25 sources

We know Jesus is our Advocate because Scripture confirms it in 1 John 2:1, assuring us of His presence and role in the heavenly court.

The assurance of Jesus being our Advocate is firmly rooted in biblical revelation. In 1 John 2:1, we are told, 'If any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.' His title as 'the righteous' emphasizes His ability to advocate for us based on His own sinless life. Furthermore, throughout the New Testament, we see His role as our intercessor before the Father, showcasing His heart to defend and protect us from condemnation due to our sins. This biblical promise reinforces our faith in Him as our eternal Advocate.
