IF WE CONFESS our sins,
HE IS FAITHFUL AND JUST
to forgive us our sins,
AND TO CLEANSE US
from all unrighteousness.
1 John 1:9
IF WE CONFESS -
Pardon in Scripture,
always supposes that there
is confession.
HE IS FAITHFUL & JUST -
Faithful to His promises and to
the excellence of His attributes.
He will be just to His covenant
of redemption accomplished by
atonement through Jesus Christ.
AND TO CLEANSE US FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS -
He forgives all that is past,
and treats us as if we were righteous,
by removing all the stains of guilt
from the soul!
