My dear children, I'm writing this to you so that you will not sin. Yet, if anyone does sin, we have Jesus Christ, who has God's full approval. He speaks on our behalf when we come into the presence of the Father.
- 1 John 2:1 (GOD'S WORD® Translation (©1995))
When we mess up, Jesus steps forward and speaks for us so that we continue to have good standing with God.
