yes it would be. because we sin, and satan is continuously accusing us to the father. and Jesus steps in.
You see, the fact that jesus is always our atonement proves that our sin was forgiven once and for all.
why is Jesus always being an advocate for us? Because we need it (we lose salvation)
no. this is not what scripture says, he does it because the accuser is always accusing us, and Jesus is always sticking up for us.
I agree that the “accuser is always accusing us, and Jesus is always sticking up for us.” Not only that, the accuser sets up traps for the believer to fall into, but the Lord sees the believer through, even if the believer falls into the trap. Lazarus the beggar was caught in the trap of poverty and he didn’t seem to have any place to go except a dead-end alley, -- but after death he was received up into Paradise.
However, I agree with what Jason said:
Those who think they can sin and still be saved are not going to make it. There are just too many warnings in the Bible to the believer that they can't presently sin and still receive grace (while they are doing evil). One has to confess and forsake sin in order to receive mercy (Proverbs 28:13). This shouldn't be up for debate. Everyone knows good guys from bad guys by what they do. So if you are doing evil.... guess what? You are evil. If you confessed and forsaken sin, then that is different. One is not living in a lifestyle of immorality and giving into that lifestyle of darkness. For the Scriptures say anyone who does evil hates the light. …..
The apostle Paul explained about walking after the Spirit,
not after the flesh. The “Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God. Sin tends to take away the
witness of the Spirit (kind of like the oil of the lamp carried by the 5 wise virgins, but not like the 5 foolish virgins).
Romans 8:1, 13 and 16:
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
