My verse is
1 JOHN 1:9.
“If we confess our sins, he who is faithful and just will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”
This verse is important to me because it tells me that God’s forgiveness in Jesus is made real for me through my confessing my sins to Him. While we admit our sins we should also turn and refrain from doing them again. If God were neither faithful nor just we would receive His present and eternal punishment that we so rightly deserve; yet, since God is faithful and just we are forgiven and can receive His present and eternal reward.
I know that I have a sinful past and an inevitable sinful future but I know that God is forgiving and through Him I am saved. This gives me great comfort in God for the wisdom of designing the world.
I would like to share this comfort in God, so that we can all live in the light even in the darkest of places. That is why I have chosen this verse; it tells us were the light is. It is in Jesus Christ. This we must realize because it is vitally important in the path that we take.
This is what I believe. I believe in the light and the forgiveness of sins for eternal salvation and that we are forgiven through confession and absolution and that the Holy Spirit saves us. This is what I believe.
