1 John 1:9 - Forgiveness

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9

Did you know you are a sinner? I am a sinner too. We are all sinners. Even if there are aspects of our lives we think are ok, they may be sinful. In the Old Testament, men often had multiple wives. There is no indication they considered this sin, but today we generally see this as wrong and sinful. Sin is always sin, but to the one engaged in it, it may not always be clear. Sometimes it is just the norm of the day. Thankfully, if we admit we are sinful and allow Christ to forgive us, we are forgiven of all of our sins, even the ones we do not know we are committing.

Lord, Thank you for sending your son to die on the cross so that we may be forgiven. Please help us to admit to our sin and grow to sin less each day. Amen.
