“Advocacy is defined as any action that speaks in favor of, recommends, argues for a cause, supports or defends, or pleads on behalf of others.”

"A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path." —Agatha Christie

“A mother’s love is infinite. A child can’t outgrow it and a mother can’t conceal it.”—Michael Bassey Johnson

“Ever wondered what melts like wax for the suffering of her children and hardens like granite to protect them?—The heart of a mother.” ―Rohit Dharupta

“Many people will enter your life as you grow, but none of them will ever love you as much as your mother.”

“Even when the entire world deems them to be not deserving of love, a mother will still love her children just as much as she did.”

“The intercession of Christ is a continual application of His death for our salvation.” —John Calvin

“Propitiation is the work of God’s love for us on the cross—enabling us to escape His wrath and perpetually stand in His grace.”

“Although the devil accuses us before God day and night for our sins (Revelation 12:10), Jesus is our Advocate, pleading His blood before the Father. The Son’s perfect sacrifice at the cross has propitiated, meaning satisfied or appeased, the righteous anger of God against our sins.” —Steven Lawson

“What our Lord said about cross-bearing and obedience is not in the fine print. It is in bold print on the face of the contract.” —Vance Havner

“John saw the importance of the gospel’s connection to obedience. He knew it was an important avenue for assurance of salvation. If you want to know day by day that you know Him, that you are saved, it is simple: look to His perfect advocacy and atoning work on your behalf and keep His commands. The word, keeping, conveys the idea of guarding. We should guard God’s commands as a precious treasure… Keeping the commands of God is not a condition of knowing God, but it is a clear sign and indication that we do know God. It is a life of true worship that delights in the commands of God for no other reason than it delights in the God who gives those commands. John says, ‘But whoever keeps His word truly in him, the love of God is perfected.’” —Dr. Daniel Akin
