But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense, Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. 1 John:2:1 A loving and compassionate God. He hates sin. But He loves me, the terrible sinner. If at all I sin, He will not condemn me. He instead intercedes for me to the Father, that He has paid for this too. That He has suffered for this too. Always continually reminding the suffering that He had to go through because of my sin. A big brother who has suffered for my sake.

He is fully and completely holy. And it is this righteousness that He chose to impute upon us. Fallen and wretched as we are. He washed us and cleansed us of our sins by His blemishless blood. If we who claim to know the light, how can we not walk in the light? How can we compromise on sin? If we enjoy darkness, then we lie about our fellowship with the light. It is not that you would always walk in the light and you wouldn't fall at all. But when you sin...
