Walk in the Light | 1.19.25

A sermon from 1 John 1:5-10

1. The perfection of God (vv. 5-6)
2. The problem of sin (vv. 7-8)
3. The process of sanctification (vv. 9-10)

GOSPEL CONNECTION

By grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9) our sin is forgiven and our eternity is changed from separation from God, to being a child in the family of God, dwelling eternally with Him. This is our position in Christ, secure and seated in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 2:6). Do not confuse the believer’s position in Christ with the daily fellowship we are to have with God, the reason for John writing this letter.

APPLICATION

What will you do this week to incorporate the confession of sins into your daily walk with your Savior and Lord?

MEMORY VERSE

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.” (1 John 1:9-10)
