Today we are reading 1 John 1. In this chapter we read about walking in the light. “This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.” 1 John 1:5-10 ESV These words are often used when we confess our sins. They are a clear reminder of three things: 1) we all sin 2) when we confess our sins we are telling the truth and 3) When we confess our sins God forgives and cleanses us. May these words bring you peace today. Pastor Tim
