Good morning people who acknowledge their sins and receive forgiveness

1 John 1:8-10 NIV If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar and His word is not in us.

This scripture is a good reminder that we have all sinned and fallen short of God’s glory (Romans 3:23).

To claim to not sin is pride and this displeases God.

Acknowledging our sins ‘as sins’ is imperative to walking in freedom.

Ignoring them or watering them down is always to our detriment.

Our freedom comes, not from perfection, but from Christ.

And that freedom is released through taking responsibility for our sins and asking Jesus to forgive us.

Yes, we have all sinned. This is a reality.

But we also all have a Saviour Who wants to forgive us, cleanse us and give us life to the full!
