1 John 1:9

God Is Light, So Walk In The Light

⁸ If we claim to have no sinful practices [in our lives], we are self-deceived and are not being truthful about the matter. ⁹ [But] if we confess our sins [to God], He is faithful [to His promise] and righteous [in His judgment], and will forgive us of those sins and cleanse us from all of our wrongdoing. ¹⁰ If we claim that we have not committed sins, we are [in effect] calling God a liar [i.e., because He says we have] and His word [i.e., the real truth about the matter] is not in our hearts.

Forgive Us Our Sins

Forgiveness of Sins

We Have Sinned

Forgive Our Sins

O God
