BUT if Anyone Does Sin: Finding Hope in Jesus Christ the Righteous
📖 1 John 2:1–2
Jesus Christ the Righteous—our Advocate and our Atonement.
In this episode of Refresh & Restore, we step away from Revelation and into a passage that meets us right where many of us are: wrestling with sin, battling shame, and desperate for hope. In 1 John 2:1–2, we are reminded that while God calls us to holiness, He has made a way for sinners to be forgiven, restored, and kept—through Jesus.
Join Keith as he walks through this gospel-rich passage and reflects on:
✔️ What it means to be “little children” in God’s family✔️ Why John says “so that you may not sin”—and what comes next✔️ Jesus as our Advocate – not a spiritual lawyer, but the Righteous One✔️ What “propitiation” means—and why it’s the best news for sinners✔️ How Jesus defends us not with words, but with His wounds
This passage doesn’t minimize sin. It magnifies Jesus. If you’ve fallen, failed, or just feel the weight of guilt, hear this: you are not alone—and you are not without hope. Jesus stands for you. He speaks for you. He saves you.
