1 John 1:9

What Does Confess Mean in 1 John 1:9?

July 4, 2023 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - 1 John 1:9, Confession of sins
This came up in my Sunday school class this past Lord’s Day. I suggested that confessing our sins means acknowledging to God that we sinned when we become aware of it. But do we need to feel sorry for our sins? If so, how sorry do we need to be? And how do we know

What Does It Mean to Have Our Sins Washed White as Snow?  

February 9, 2023 by Kathryn Wright in Blog - 1 John 1:9, Cleansing, Discipline of God, Isaiah 1:18
In Isa 1:18, the prophet records these familiar words: 18 “Come now, and let us reason together,” says the Lord “Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool.” The words of the prophet are reflected in the lyrics of several popular

I received an actual letter—handwritten—from Robert asking about confession and forgiveness: Some preachers teach that we as Christians must confess our sins in order to be forgiven of sins after we are born again, according to 1 John 1:9.

Beware of Confessing the Same Sin (1 John 1:9)

July 28, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - 1 John 1:9, Confession of sins, fellowship forgiveness
Shawn and I received this question from a friend named John: Need some help to answer a question.  Talking to someone who is not battling with an on-going sin but rather a past sin that has been confessed and forgiven (1 John 1:9).  This person keeps coming to Christ and re–confessing the same sin.  I

September 1, 2016 by GES Webmaster in Blog - 1 John 1:9, Confession, Fellowship, theology
Confession of sins is a vital element in the Christian’s walk with God. And no verse is more important in this regard than 1 John 1:9. In the following article excerpted from his commentary on 1-3 John, Zane has given us a wonderful explanation of this key verse. Editor. by Zane Hodges If we confess
