A Promise of Forgiveness
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us."1 John 1:9
Reflection
It does not say maybe He forgives. It says faithful to forgive. That is one of the most reassuring promises in the whole Bible.
Prayer
Lord, thank You that Your forgiveness is certain. Amen!
Talk about it as a family
- What does it mean to confess?
- Why is God called faithful to forgive?
- How do you feel after saying sorry?
