 Those who are willing and holy have a priest that is why John puts it this way if we confess our sins he is faithful and Just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness He does not say God is faithful and gracious. He does not say God is faithful and merciful He says God is faithful and just and it's because of this when a true Christian sins They have Christ and he like a defense lawyer before the judge He has in his wounds an argument for the dismissal of their guilt Therefore every good thing belongs to the believer. God would be unjust not to give it to them
