We know Christ is our Advocate because Scripture explicitly states that if any man sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.
The concept of Christ as our Advocate is clearly articulated in 1 John 2:1, where it says, 'If any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.' This highlights that He serves as our legal representative, pleading our case before a holy and righteous God. Jesus takes on the role of an advocate specifically for guilty sinners, demonstrating the grace and mercy of God. He is our comfort in sinning, showing that there is provision made for us when we fall short of God’s glory.
