Thursday, December 6th - 1 John 1:5-10

Good Morning!

It's Thursday and we only have one more rehearsal and then the concert!  Wow!  Have you got your tickets?  Night Divine - Friday night at 7pm and Saturday at 3pm and 7pm.  May God be glorified and His people be blessed!

Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: 1 John 1:5-10 ~ You're going to sin - deal with it.  The most efficient way to deal is to confess when you mess up and accept that He forgives you.

I love this passage of Scripture!  When I was in college, we had a chorus that we sang that was taken from verse seven.  It was done in a "round" and when there were several girls singing, it was awesome.  I can still hear nightly devotions and someone would start:  " If we walk (If we walk), in the light (in the light), as He (as He) is in the light (is in the light); we have fellowship with one another (we have fellowship with one another), and the blood (and the blood), of Jesus purifies us from sin (of Jesus purifies us from sin).

Yes, we will sin!  We are not perfect!  Did you read verse 9?  "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."  What a promise!  The hardest part sometimes for me and many is accepting the fact that He forgives.  We beat ourselves up sometimes because we have sinned and hurt God and others.  Claim verse nine and know that God does forgive and He helps us along the way - every step we take - HE is there!

Let's memorize verse seven together and claim His promise: "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, purifies us from all sin." 

Have a great day!
