John 1:8 and 10
No Hiding
Three Bible verses for this week: 1 John 1:8-10. Read them each day. Memorize verse 9 if you have not already. All of us will need it many times in our lives. It is a wonderful promise from God about forgiveness of our sins.
Today let's look at verses 8 and 10 and notice that hiding from sin is not an option. Is there anybody who really thinks they have no sin? You know better don't you? Don't deceive yourself. Ignoring or dismissing sin only blocks the path to forgiveness. Verse 8 teaches us that we have a sin nature (you don't have to teach a child to lie). Verse 10 reminds us that we have actually done wrong. God knows; the people around you know; you know. You have sinned. I have sinned. But God forgives.
FOR TODAY: Memorize 1 John 1:9.
