1 John 1:9

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful & just to forgive us our sins & to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Confession: In Psalm 51 we have King David confessing of his sin. As a Christian we can pattern our guilt of sin by freely admitting the sin. This is also vital to us to be honest in our confesson. God will graciously forgive all of our sins. As King David display real sorrow over his sin; we need to display this also. King David asked God to forgive him, we need to ask for forgiveness. As King David did we need to believe that God has heard us & will restore us John tells us the means of forgiveness & the cleansing is in the Blood Of Jesus Christ our LORD. As the method of forgiveness & cleansing is the confession of the Christian. As Brother Andrew Murray said in his book "The Power of the Blood of Christ"; "God's Word comes to us with the promise of blessing that ought to awaken all our desires. Believe that the blood of Jesus cleanses from all sin. If you learn how to yield yourself correctly to its operation, it can do great things in you." Put God to the test on working things out in you. His promise is cleansing from all unrighteousness. Also from the same book of Andrew Murray he said "My friend, my possessions, my spirit must all be surrendered so that I may be cleansed in each relationship by the precious blood & so that all the activities of my spirit, soul, & being may experience a thorough cleansing" 1 John 1:7B the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. Not some but ALL! There is power in the blood!! Believe in the power of the blood. It's life. Not death. God will not see our sin but the Blood of Jesus! In the Blood of Jesus Chri st our Lord Love Rev. Londa Picard
