Christ Helps Us

2 My children, I am writing this so you won't sin. But if you do sin, Jesus Christ always does the right thing, and he will speak to the Father for us. ² Christ is the sacrifice that takes away our sins and the sins of all the world's people.

³ When we obey God, we are sure we know him. ⁴ But if we claim to know him and don't obey him, we are lying and the truth isn't in our hearts. ⁵ We truly love God only when we obey him as we should, and then we know we belong to him. ⁶ If we say we are his, we must follow the example of Christ.
