1 John 1 & 2

Father, you are light, and in you is no darkness at all. I walk in your light, and I have communion and sweet fellowship with you. I live in the knowledge that the sacrifice of Jesus, your son, has cleansed me from all sin.

Now, when I sin or even begin to conceive of sin, I confess that to you, Father. I repent of the action or thought. You, Father, are faithful and just to forgive me of my sins and to cleanse me from all unrighteousness.

I don’t deserve such patience and mercy, but, by your grace, I have it as a gift from you, through my Lord Jesus. Jesus, the righteous, is my advocate with you, Father. He is the perfect, pleasing propitiation for my sins and for the sins of the whole world.

I know that I know you, Lord Jesus, because I love to see, and to obey, and to feast on your commandments. I love your word, Lord. The love of our father is perfected in me. I abide in you, Lord Jesus, and I walk with you.
