1st John 1:8. “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.”
FALSE HOLINESS: DECEPTION. Sometimes we say what we don’t really mean. Not deceiving deliberately but we haven’t really seen What we are like inside, until from God’s holy view, Our treacherous heart is exposed for what we never knew.
Then truth in all its light and holiness imparted, Brings us to know we are responsible now for what God started When He saved us and cleansed us by the shedding of Christ’s blood And brought out the potential within us to become what we really should.
To say I have no sin, deceives no one else but me, For my life is lived out in the open for everyone to see. The truth I truly cherish and by God’s help I now commit Myself to being honest, and when sin comes, to confess it.
“It is a fact Father, that there are times I forget to be honest the confession of sin. May I again seek help from the holy Spirit to keep all daily accounts settled and leave nothing undo that should be at the end of each day. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
