Confession and Divine Forgiveness

1 John 1:8-10

If we claim not to have sin, we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

If we acknowledge our sins, then, since he is trustworthy and just, he will forgive them and purify us from all wrongdoing.

If we claim we have not been sinning, we are making him out to be a liar, and his Word is not in us.
