I receive so much encouragement from this Bible verse. Even though I'm a Christian, I still mess up and sin. But when I do, I know what to do. I confess my sin and agree with God. He who knows my heart is faithful and just and ...forgives me.
And then once again, I have that unbroken fellowship with Him through Jesus. Only He can purify me and cleanse me.
I once had a Bible teacher who taught our class that 1 John 1:9 is our "spiritual bar of soap". It helped me to always remember this. I hope this will help and encourage you too.
Happy Encouragement Blog Hop!
I love that verse.
