“He is the propitiation for our sins.” Now the word “propitiation” back in Romans meant “mercy seat.” Here it’s just a little bit different, it means that sins have been paid for by the suffering of another. Now Christ has died and because He died for us, we’re God’s child. And it doesn’t say we have an Advocate if any man confesses his sin. And it doesn’t say we have an Advocate if a man goes through a ceremony in order to get rid of the sins. No. If any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, and it’s Jesus Christ that does that.
