I Will Purify You!

I Will Purify You!

Read 1 John 1:9
Today’s Truth

We are all born full of sin. Our rebellious nature covers every decision we make and everything we do. Like red Carolina clay on white Converse sneakers, it’s impossible to get rid of on our own.

Discussion Questions
  • What, if anything, keeps you from having complete joy in God and with others?
  • Is there anything you need to be forgiven for today? Take a few minutes today to ask Jesus for the forgiveness He promises to give.
  • Forgiveness is yours! What’s one step you need to take today to let go of the past and live like you have been forgiven?
Application

The same way that the stench of dirt, sweat, and grit stops us from embracing our spouses, our sin separates us from God. When we confess our sins, Jesus promises to forgive us. He doesn’t ridicule us or shame us; He welcomes us in and cleans us up.

Through Jesus’ forgiveness, our sin is removed and our relationship with God is restored. Without the barrier of sin, we can run into the arms of a loving God where we find real, lasting joy.

About the Author
Chuck Adair

If you ask Chuck his favorite thing in life to do, he would tell you it is the teaching and preaching of the scriptures and to call all people to engage in the great adventure of abiding with Christ. He desires to connect people with the richness, adventure, and fullness of life that comes through Christ alone and to reach the unchurched, de-churched, dead-churched, and unmoved. Chuck is married to his best friend Kristin and has two adult children, Taylor and Linley. Kris and Chuck believe the quality of their marriage rises and falls, not on circumstances or feelings, but based on their daily abiding with Jesus (Jn 15.5).
