How do we know that Jesus is our Advocate according to 1 John?

Answered in 1 source

1 John assures us that Jesus serves as our Advocate with the Father, who represents us when we sin.

In 1 John 2:1-2, John declares that Jesus Christ is our Advocate with the Father, emphasizing his role as our defender in heaven. Even when we sin, which John acknowledges we all do, our relationship with God remains intact because of Christ's advocacy. He is portrayed as the righteous one who not only pleads our case but has also made propitiation for our sins. This truth reassures believers that their sins do not sever their relationship with God, as Christ continuously intercedes on their behalf.
