Jesus Christ our Advocate

November 09, 2018/ Kristen Padilla

Christ’s identity as advocate, therefore, means that even when we sin, and we will, Jesus stands at the right hand of the Father interceding for us based on his righteousness and atoning sacrifice for our sins, which was made complete by his crucifixion and resurrection (1 John: 2-12). That means yesterday, today, now, and forever our status before him never changes because we are in Christ and Christ never changes.
