1 John 1:8-9
If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
Do you claim to be without sin? Deep down, do you believe yourself to be a good person? If you and I pretend we’re worthy of Heaven all on our own, we’re deceiving no one but ourselves. The Word assures us that no one is righteous, not even one. But God is merciful and remembers that we are made of dust; He doesn’t expect us to be blameless, which is why He sent Jesus to take our punishment and pave the way for eternal life. Humble yourself and confess your sins, and the Savior will be faithful and just to forgive you and purify you from all your mistakes.
