“My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him: whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭2:1-6‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,This stands out because John says, “By this we may know that we are in him: whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.” In verse 1, John says if we do sin, we have a advocate with the father. Jesus knows we are human, but He also knows we are a child of God (John 1:12) so He will transform us as we acknowledge our sin and repent. How freeing is it to abide in Christ and know His power enables you to be in relationship with Him. Please pray that we and our friends “walk in the same way in which He walked”. Please pray for people to see the racism and partiality, which are both unbiblical, in the teaching of Critical Race Theory.
