1Jn 1:8 If we
say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in
us.
1Jn 1:9 If we
confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to
cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1Jn 1:10 If we
say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in
us.
We deceive ourselves
all the time. It's easy to say we have no sin, when in truth we do. It's a
cocky person who says they have no sin, isn't it? Not necessarily. If a person
doesn't believe in such a thing as sin, it doesn’t mean they are arrogantly flaunting
that fact. They could be the sweetest person alive and still not believe in
sin. If you don’t believe in sin then you most assuredly can't believe you are
a sinner. You would say you have no sin, if you don't believe in sin. You might
also say you have no sin, if you think yourself above sinning. You can believe
in sin and believe you have no sin. The truth is…
we have sin.
We need to confess our sins.
We need to confess our sins.
We can't be forgiven
if we don't confess our sins.
Christ Jesus our
Savior is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from ALL
unrighteousness.
If we want our
Savior's word in us, we have to admit we are sinners, in need of a Savior.
Our Savior is NOT a
liar- we are sinners!
We are separated
from our God-- without Christ Jesus our Savior!
