1 John 2:1-6
My dear children, I am writing this to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate who pleads our case before the Father. He is Jesus Christ, the one who is truly righteous. (2) He himself is the sacrifice that atones for our sins—and not only our sins but the sins of all the world.
(3) And we can be sure that we know him if we obey his commandments. (4) If someone claims, “I know God,” but doesn’t obey God’s commandments, that person is a liar and is not living in the truth. (5) But those who obey God’s word truly show how completely they love him. That is how we know we are living in him. (6) Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did.
God is serious about sin. That’s why He, being God, left heaven, became a human, (incarnate God you sing those words at Christmas b/c that is what we celebrate) was tempted in every way, never ever gave in (b/c he had the Holy Spirit), He was put to a gruesome death for claiming to be God, all because He wanted to save us from an eternity without Him and grant us access RIGHT NOW to the loving presence of God.
