Jesus Is Your Lawyer!
"We have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous." 1 John 2:1 NAS
On those days when you wonder how God could love you, read these words: "If anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Chris the righteous." When your thoughts sink to gutter level and your actions are anything but Christlike, remind yourself: "He lives forever to intercede with God on [our] behalf" (Hebrews 7:25 NLT). It works like this: When God's law declares you guilty, Jesus steps in and says, "Father, I have this person covered; they are trusting in my shed blood, and My righteousness has been transferred to them." Try to picture this: In the Old Testament tabernacle, the blood of a lamb was poured on top of the mercy seat, and the ark of the covenant that contained the broken law--the record of our guilt--was placed underneath it. So, the only way God could see the broken law--was through the blood. And it's the same today! If you're wondering why God continues to love, accept, and bless you, it's because Jesus is your lawyer! Notice: (1) He is fully qualified to represent you. "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased" (Matthew 3:17). (2) He has never lost a case. "He is...able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him" (Hebrews 7:25 NKJV). (3) He offers His services freely. "Without money and without price (Isaiah 55:1). The Bible says, "Let us...approach God's throne of grace with confidence...that we may receive mercy and...grace to help us in our time of need" (Hebrews 4:16 NIV). Jesus is your lawyer, so you can come to God with confidence today.
