1 John 1:8-2:2 The Heart of God
(8) If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. (9) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. (10) If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.
(1) My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. (2) He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.
I want to start with Chapter 2:2 and work backward.
Now bear with me a bit as this will be a little heady, then to the heart.
He, Jesus, is the atoning (the means of forgiveness). Some versions of the Bible use propitiation-which means to appease or offer conciliation which is to overcome hostility.
