Provoking thoughts from John Piper

The following was on John Piper's blog today:

Your life hangs on how you relate these two statements:

“If anyone sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, the Righteous” (1 John 2:1).

“Sin no more, that nothing worse may happen to you” (John 5:14).

Do you experience the first one weakening the second?
Or do you experience the first one joyfully empowering the second?
Your life hangs on your answer.
