1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
What of Today’s Verse…
We can be forgiven of our sins! That’s great, but there’s even better news. We can be purified of any stain from sin!! That’s incredible: not only am I forgiven, but I’m also made clean and new again! But only because of God’s grace and perfect sacrifice for our sins.
Let us Pray:
Forgiving Father, please forgive me today for my lack of passion to love and forgive others in the way you have so graciously forgiven me. Create in me a heart like your own: faithful, forgiving, and gracious. In the precious name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
