1 John 1

On Tuesday, we finished John’s account of Jesus’ life, so I am going to begin reading through some of the letters John wrote to other Jesus followers. Today, I read 1 John 1. I invite you to open your Bible and read it too or find it online here.

Here are the verses/thoughts that stood out to me...

1 John 1

8 If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth.

9 But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.

My prayer for you is that you would have a healthy, on-going relationship with God. Confession is an important ingredient for maintaining the “healthy” part of the relationship ... it helps restore the intimacy that sin disrupts. Take a few minutes right now to ask God to search your heart and reveal any sin that you might be ignoring or trying to hide. Then, take some time to confess that sin and ask God to forgive your sin and renew your relationship.
