The day is moving on and it is time for us to do our afternoon devotion.
1 JOHN 1:8-10
If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.
| 1 John 1:8-10 (Source: Precept Austin) | Theme: Confession and Forgiveness |
| 1. Denying your sin only deceives yourself; honesty is the path to spiritual health. | |
| 2. Confession is an act of humbling yourself, trusting in God’s promise to forgive and purify you from all unrighteousness. | |
| 3. God’s forgiveness is complete; once you confess, believe His promise and don’t take the sin back. |
