What does the Bible say about having an advocate?

Answered in 11 sources

The Bible states that we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous, who intercedes for us when we sin.

In 1 John 2:1-2, Scripture tells us, 'If any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous.' This means that when we fall into sin, we have someone who stands before the Father on our behalf, advocating for us. Jesus, as our Advocate, fulfills the role of a high priest who makes us acceptable to God and intercedes for us with His perfect righteousness. He does so knowing our guilty state, yet He pleads our cause and assures us of forgiveness.
