Doct. Every Child of God hath the Lord Jesus Christ in Heaven to plead his cause for him.
If any man sin we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous, he doth not say every man that sins hath an Advocate, but we have an Advocate, that is, I and you, and such as we are; the children of God, Rom. 8.34. he makes intercession for us [Greek or Hebrew] interpellat pro nobis, he interrupts the accusation, and strikes in for us, Heb. 7.25. because he hath not only dyed for us, and risen for us, but he follows the business to the utmost, till it be accomplished.
