Warm greetings in the Name Of Our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Today we will be continuing with the series: Seven Fundamental Principles For Spiritual Growth.
John wrote the Book of First John to the Church, not to the world.
He was talking to believers when he said,
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse is from all unrighteousness.
(1 John 1:9).
Thank God for His promise of forgiveness!.
That verse does not belong to the sinner.
That's not a confession the sinner can make.
A singer couldn't remember everything he has done being because his whole nature is wrong since his spirit hasn't been born again.
No, John wrote this verse to Christians
God does not want us to sin. But if we do, Jesus Christ our advocate with the Father to plead our case.
1 JOHN 2:1-2
1 My little children, these things write in unto you, that sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
2 And He is the propitiation for our sins and not firbiur it, but also for the sins of the whole world.
John is saying that Jesus is the atonement firbiur sins as well as for the sins of the whole world.
When we put all these scriptures together, they tell us that when we confess our sins, GOD not only cleanses us from all unrighteousness and forgives us, but He will not remember our sins anymore.
In order to grow Spiritually, every believer needs to take advantage of First John 1:9 and First John 2:1-2 to receive forgiveness for his sins.
However, once a Nicer confesses his sin, he must make the decision to stop remembering them because GOD forgets them!.
PRAISE THE LORD!!!
HALLELUJAH!!!.
So fellow Believers, forget what the Lord has forgotten.
Forget what is behind.
If you think about it, it will hinder your spiritual progress.
It will keep your faith and prayers from working.
It can keep you from receiving healing for your body and other blessings and provisions of God.
So make the decision to forget your past sins today and experience title freedom and Growth in Christ.
SHALOM!!!
