- A.
Blame the devil
- B.
Confess our sins
- C.

Correct Answer
B. Confess our sinsExplanation
Confessing our sins is the correct answer because in 1 John 1:9 it states, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." This verse emphasizes the importance of acknowledging our sins and seeking forgiveness from God. Confession allows us to take responsibility for our actions and receive God's forgiveness and cleansing. Blaming the devil, reciting scriptures, and fasting may be helpful spiritual practices, but they are not specifically mentioned as the appropriate response to sin in this verse.Rate this question:

An Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ
- E.
All of the above
Correct Answer
D. An Advocate with the Father, Jesus ChristExplanation
When a Christian sins, they have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ. This means that they have someone who intercedes on their behalf and represents them before God. Jesus Christ acts as a mediator between the Christian and God, offering forgiveness and reconciliation. This assurance of having an Advocate helps the Christian to approach God with confidence and seek forgiveness for their sins, knowing that Jesus is advocating for them. The other options (guilty conscience, feeling of condemnation, and debt to pay) may be consequences of sin, but the correct answer specifically highlights the presence of Jesus Christ as the Christian's Advocate.Rate this question:
