DEALING WITH CHRISTIANS' SINS
(I John 1:9)
NOTE:
When Jesus died on the cross for our sins, all our sins were future sins!
When a Christian sins, what is the Biblical response…condemnation or
conviction?
1.
“If we judge
our selves, we will not be judged.”(I Corinthians 11:31)
2.
“Fall on the
rock or be crushed by the rock.”(Luke 20:18)
3.
“If we(John
including himself with other Christians)”
4.
“Confess”: To
agree with or say the same thing as God!
It is sin!
Jesus died for this sin!
Jesus forgave this sin!
Jesus washed this sin away!
Jesus cleansed us of the sin!
Jesus covered us in His blood over the sin!
Jesus separated this sin from us!
Jesus took this sin on Himself on the
tree(Lamb of God)!
Jesus took this sin away(Scapegoat)!
Jesus removed this sin(As far as the East is
from the West)!
Jesus remembers our sin no more(Hebrews
8:12; 10:17)
5.
“Our sins”(We
as Christians including John)
Sins plural!
Be specific!
Call it what it is!
Name it!
6.
“He(Jesus)is
faithful and just”
Jesus knows our weaknesses!
Jesus was tempted as we are!(Heb.4:15-16)
Jesus understands!
Jesus is praying for us right now in
heaven!(Hebrews 9:24)
7.
“To forgive us
our sins”(We as Christians including John)
Forgive once for all!
All our transgressions!
8.
“To cleanse us
from all unrighteousness”
Wash!
All!
Unrighteousness!
Note:
1. Matthew 6:13
The Model Prayer(Lord’s Prayer) “Forgive us our
debts/sins/trespasses as we forgive our debtors/those who sin against
us/those who
trespass against us.”
2. Matthew 19:30
“It is finished!” A finished work including our sins as
Christians!
