1 John 2:1-6 ESV
My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him: whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.
The accuser has fallen in defeat for those who gather at the feet of the Lord. He has paid the price of our sins. He commands us to believe and love in faith. The perfect love of God finds completion in us.
There is enough grace for the whole world. Come to the throne of grace. The risen Christ sits there with open arms to receive all who will come. We get there by walking the same way.
