Articles, Bible studies, and sermons that contain 1 John 2:1:

I John 2:1
Excerpted from: Psalm 51 (Part Three): Verses 5-12

He is sending this to us through Scripture so that we can avoid sin, that we do not sin, that we do not practice sin, that we avoid the contamination as much as possible.

So we can lean on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. We can go before God and ask for His forgiveness at any time, and He is, like I said, just waiting to give it to us because He wants us to be holy. He wants us to continue to be holy and righteous. He wants us to walk forward in the same spiritual perfection as He and His Son do. Because, as we will see later in the sermon here, that is all for the good. That state is the best state we could be in as we walk toward the Kingdom with Him. If we are walking in sin, we are being dragged down.

I John 2:1
Excerpted from: Eternal Security in the Church

In this context, Paul isn’t talking about occasional, unintentional sin, but rather our overall spiritual state or trajectory. If we were tempted last month, and in a moment of weakness we gave in to our lust, and we had a helping of squirrel, that’s probably not what is in view in Paul’s urging us to be reconciled to God. I John 2:1 says that we must not sin, but if there is sin, we have an Advocate, meaning we can confess and repent and be restored.

I John 2:1-2
Excerpted from: The Christian Paradox (Part Two)

He is starting with you but ultimately He is going to put everybody through the same program. And it is all going to happen the same way, through the forgiveness of sins through Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ teaching them how to be like Him.
