(1 John 1.5-9) This is the message we heard from him and declare to you: God is light and no darkness in him. If we say we have fellowship with him yet walk in darkness, we lie and do not the truth, but if we walk in the light as it is light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
Sin can destroy our faith in eternal security. God promised that anyone who believes that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sin will live forever in heaven (Jn 6.40). But because not confessed that sin creates a barrier between the Lord and the believer, gives place to the devil and therefore legal right in any area of \u200b\u200bour life and a short circuit in the faith and assurance of salvation.
When a believer confesses his sin, the heavenly Father forgive your child clean (1 John 1.9). But if the Christian does not recognize your sin, you will experience a separation from God. May feel unworthy of love of the Father, and even fight with a feeling of rejection and a sense of defeat, and consequently quench the Spirit. Ask those who are in this situation if they are assured of their eternal future, and probably hear: "Prior to each other." Sometimes go as far as saying they are no longer saved, but that's impossible. Although we lost our security, we can not ever lose our salvation or our place in heaven, and for that we must fight and persevere (Mt 24.13). There is nothing more beautiful than a believer in Jesus you feel sure of your salvation and fight for their salvation, keeping in holiness (Heb 12.14).
Often, people confuse the right hand of the Lord with the condemnation. They say: "God does not make me go through this if it were safe." Actually, that's all otherwise. Heavenly Father disciplines those He loves, so that the correction is proof that we are his children (I 12.6, 7). The punishment is the way to bring back the faithful astray. The punishment or correction of our Heavenly Father is to our advantage, and is therefore very necessary. Correction disciplines us makes us better and better believers, and thus give a good testimony to the world, and above all things to share in his holiness (Heb 12.10).
The Lord Jesus is our advocate before God. Like the high priests of ancient Israel, He atoned for our sins through the sacrifice with his death on the cross. Our sins can not get rid of his grace. At the moment we confess our sins, the gap disappears and returns security and abundance to our hearts. Do not hold grudges and hidden sins not confessed, do not give place to the devil, do not let it torment you with their lies.
! May the Lord bless us
