Let Go Of Sin Jan 22
Scripture
1John1: 9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
Devotional
God does not want us to hold onto and struggle with sin in our lives. He wants us to live obediently to his word. Yet when we stumble, he teaches us to repent from our sins (confess and turn from the sin); as we do, he instantly forgives us. He offers us purity through his forgiveness. Nothing we can do on our own will purify us, even as hard as we may try. God is the only way. He wants us to be in a right relationship with him, we do this by continually asking for forgiveness when we sin. We should never think we are not worthy of being forgiven because we may struggle at times with the same type of sin. As we repent and ask God to give us the ability to resist that sin the next time, we get stronger and stronger to resist the temptation in the future.
