NASB | 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 1:9 If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just [true to His own nature and promises], and will forgive our sins and cleanse us continually from all unrighteousness [our wrongdoing, everything not in conformity with His will and purpose]. |
Bible Question: Is 1 John 1:9 applicable to Christians? Or is it addressing those in 1 John 1:8? Are Christians forgiven by Christ's blood at the cross shed 2000 years ago or by just asking for forgiveness now? Did Jesus forgive all our sins at the cross or does He only give the ones we confess to Him? |
Bible Answer: i thought that i would start from the top and confer my opinion.the Blood has cleansed us from all unrighteousness,if we confess the sin, which implies that we must be aware of a particular sin to confess it.but if we die the Blood covers that sin,as does love,in which we are unaware. i have known hidden sin to stop many people reaching the Heart of God, myself one.i beleve that Jesus knows what we are called to be and His grace Keeps us in that calling .the Blood of Jesus has cleansed us from all sin past,present and future sin.He has our lives all mapped out and even knows our grand children and what they will be and do.a curse causless shall not come.in Reverlations 12:11 this how we overcome and when we overcome we get reverlations 21:7. He perfects the saints.all in love and gentleness of the Holy Spirit.just remember time does not exist in eternity. that is where God dwells. faith overrides all the natural senses and the creation. |
