The First Letter of Johnنموونە

If We Confess
In the early days of Christianity, our faith wasn’t called “Christianity”. It was called either “the way”, or “the confession”. In the modern church, some of us may have some kind of aversion to the word “confession”, because of the cultural implications we have on it. It is as if confession is something you do when you have been caught in a sinful act and you must verbally admit your mistakes for all to see. This isn’t the biblical view. Let’s look at a few scriptures and see what confession means in them.
Biblically, confession means to agree, or to “completely affirm”. So, when we confess our sins, we aren’t merely admitting what we did wrong. We are actually agreeing with God’s standards in our lives, and that those behaviors are not in line with fellowship with Him.
Devotional Question:
What are the areas in my life that I’m not completely agreeing with God about? Where are the areas that need to be brought up to God’s standards of living?

1 John is one of the most quoted books of the Bible, and for a good reason: John understood God’s love in a special way. As we explore the pages of this book, let that be our main goal: to understand the love of God better and better, and to grow closer to Him.
