1 John Chapter 1 Discussion Page 11

Sin does not effect your relationship with God you will always be His child sin will mess up your fellowship with God and others around you. You lose closeness with God and others. But we can get it back when we confess our sins and turn from them through the Blood of Jesus and confessing our wrong Yes God knows what I did , But He wants us to acknowledge it for ourselves . He wants us me to be honest and open with Him and myself . Praise God for His wonderful gift. He doesn 't throw me out when I sin. I am learning to run to Him when I mess up.

That means all was written through eye witness

The first chapter of I John is directed to those in the church "Gnostic " who didn 't believe in the material body of Christ and therefore, deeds done in the flesh never amounted to sin, because we are immaterial. I Jn. 1 9 is not directed to Christians. Once Christ forgave me of my sins at the cross, it included past, present and future. Read I Jn. 2 12 John declared that the Christians were forgiven. If ever I am not forgiven, then I am under wrath. That my friend can never happen. Christ bore it all.

Brian Harvey is right. 1 John 1 is about broken fellowship, not relationship. When we sin we don 't need to get save again, we just need to restore fellowship.

Am so much encouraged that no one on Earth is clean.hence if i confess my sins i will be forgiven...Thank you LORD.

John chapter reminds me of a most high and powerful GODD that we serve. I had to remove myself from others in order to walk in the light. The fellowship within my brothers and sisters has been broken. Knowing and accepting LORD JESUS CHRIST died for our sins, The Light will wipe away the darkness. Faith conquers all.

Thank You Jesus!!

jesus died for our salvation healing and forgiveness but we have to appropriate salvation by receiving jesus.it is not an automatic.people who say I don 't have to confess my sins must also believe that they are saved since jesus provided it don 't have to receive jesus.this is error you are healed saved forgiven but you have to make a withdrawal by acting confessing sin.faith without works is dead reply to Arthur comments

God I know I am a sinner,please forgive me my sins and lead me closer to Jesus christ your beloved son. I 'm truly sorry for my sins

Brian, you must submit yourself to God, then He will fight your battles for you. God tells us that if we will submit to Him we can resist the devil and he will flee.

God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. To walk in the light is to walk transparantly in the full exposure of His light allowing no darkness, no unrighteousness to go unchecked in our hearts and actions. To walk in the light does not necessarly mean that we are perfect in our intentions or actions but that when we hamartia miss the mark sin, we quickly look to the source where the glory of God is manifested, namely the cross of Christ where our sin and shame are not only exposed but judged and separated as far as the east is from the west. We now have nothing to hide, and while I may readily confess that I am a sinner I can also boldly say that I am justified and accounted righteous. This is how we walk in the light, and thus walk in God who is light. For in Him we live and move and have our being.

Jesus always love me

Once we are saved, positionally we never sin, however, we have an enemy the flesh to fight the good fight of faith. This means we have choices with out condemnation. The confession of our sins is necessary to continue to have fellowship with our Blessed Savior. We will sin! however the more we practice the Word, the more we will overcome! Remember in Ezekiel He says I will put my Spirit within you and cause you to do my Statutes and you shall do my Judgements. For the one that needs deliverance on your addiction. Demand that it go out of your body in Jesus name! He gave us the power and authority over theses sins to leave and be healed James 5th chapter

Praise the lord that he shall protect us from all the evils in the world and that he shall protect our family from the temptations and prepare a place in heaven for us all,

I have excepted his son,it was very glorious but since then I have went back to the past life of an addict. I know I 'm in the wrong, I want to live for Him but I 'm hidered by my addiction. What must I do to overcome? pray for me.

God is the only one we should worship. John 3 16 says God so love the world that he gave himself to be crucify because of Me and you sins.

I believe that god has something good for all of us if we simply believe and stand firm in the word because every solution is in the word and we also have to trust in his will because the will of god will never take you to a place wer the grace of god will never protect you and i believe that in every pain i have went through this year god has something good for me and his planns are better than our dreams.Thank lord for the love and protection you give me daily

Don "t celebrate yet at my fall my enemies, for when I fall I will rise, thank you LORD for taking care of my sins past, present and future Halleliyah

This is a wonderful promise from God to all believers. Though we are born again we still have the sin nature which is the flesh. So God in his infinite wisdom has provided a way of escape for us. That if we ask for his forgiveness he will forgive us.

Faithful and just is our God. He will do just what He said He will do. If we turn our hearts to His Son Jesus and tell Him all that we have done, humbling ourselves before His mighty hand and crying some tears, God is quick to forgives us. He is a fair God. He will not hold our sins against us. What 's more, He doesn 't bring our past back up to us ever. Finally, through Jesus, God will cleanse us and purge us from all filthiness of the flesh. And all that we once were will be forgotten. We will be clean through the Word.

I believe that that scripture is saying that I must acknowledge my sin by confessing it to God although He already knows I have sinned I must recognize my sin by confessing it and asking forgiveness and turn from that sin and then God will forgive me and cleanse me from it. Praise God for His gift of forgiveness and cleansing with the blood of Jesus Christ.

God is Light verse 5 If we keep his commandments God who is Light will dwell in us and we will dwell in God who is Light 1 Jn 3 24 And this is his commandment that we believe Jesus is his Son And love one another as he gave commandment 1 Jn 3 22 If we say that we have fellowship with God and walk in darkness meaning we do not keep his commandments we lie 1Jn 2 22 Who is a liar but he that denies Jesus is the Christ meaning he is not the Son of God He is antichrist who denies both the Father and the Son 1 Jn 1 7 But if we walk in God the Light As he is in God the Light we have fellowship One with Another thats two meaning him and his son Jesus not one another meaning everyone

Sin is something that can bring separation between us and God.Isai.59 1 2. prob. says he that covers his sins shall not prosper. Our God is faithful and just. He was encouraging us in Isa.1 10 that we should come and let us reason together, though our sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow, red as crimson,they shall be as wool. if we can come unto him and acknowledge that, we have sinned and confess with our mouth, humble ourselves, pray, seek his face and turn from our wicked ways, he is just and faithful to forgive all our sins and cleanse us from all our unrighteousness.

1 jn 1 tells us of God 's love,his forgiving nature, and ever source of light that we need. It is by confessing Him as our Lord that this light will shine on us. Never to wonder in darkness is to carefully avoid the occassions of sin for the scripture says nothing unclean would make it to the kingdom. Thus let us be light as Christ is without compromise.

God is light ! Jn 5 If we keep his Commandments 1 Jn 3 23 God who is light will dwell in us and we will dwell in him 1Jn 3 24 if i keep his commandments it is imposible to walk in darkness for i have fellowship one with another with him and his son Jesus Christ the same fellowship they had The fellowship there talking about has to do with this blending with us and God Fellowship is not friendship

If we keep everything in it 's proper context,we can see the simplicity of God 's message to everyone.The believer,The sinners and the ungodly!1.In the beginning the start of everything 2.Life manifested in the form of Jesus Christ,our Lord and Savior 3The message come into this knowledge and fellowship ,which is the Light.God is Light,Jesus became the Light of men,shone in darkness,exposing darkness 4.The Light provides the way out of darkness.5Without the Light,there is a continuous stay in darkness sin.6There can be no true fellowship in Christ,if there is no light.7.Liar8.Believers confess their sins to be cleansed.Fellowship is kept.8.Although believers are in the light,they are still surrounded by darkness,therefore,there must be confessions made because of our sinner nature! Just that simple! Thank God for that Light in the form of our Lord and Savior,Jesus Christ! We are so grateful!

God is Love...1 John4 16...I truly thank God for loving me Unconditional... Joy!!!

God is so good and he loves us so. His love for us is unconditional and only if you have and love your children will you understand this love and forgiveness.

If not for this Scripture Verse and Truth where would We be,Thank You Father,Thank You

We need to take this verse seriously. If we claim to be a Christian and yet are willfully sinning we are walking in darkness. God is a jealous God. He wants all of us. The choice is up to us.
