My Judge and My Advocate
“The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.” (Psalm 7:8)
If God were to judge me this way, how would I stand? I already know that I cannot stand, for I have failed so many times. It is wonderful to know that, when I stand before the Father, I have an Advocate. God looks on this Advocate and sees His righteousness and hears His pleas and justifies me because of this Advocate’s name. This Advocate is Jesus. “If any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.” (I John 2:1b)
