1 John 1

Good Morning,

1 John 1 (NIV)
That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
We write this to make our joy complete.
This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.
If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives.

This short chapter of Scripture is so very amazing to me. It says so very, very much to all of us that we should have deeply entrenched in our hearts and minds and into our very being.

These verses fill me with hope and give me peace in my life. God gave these words to John in order that he would write them and they would bring that peace and hope to all who would read and believe what they say.

I think that the words here today speak for themselves. I believe that no comment is really necessary as what is written is clear and to the point.

I just give thanks that we have these verses to read. I give thanks that God has given us His assurances through them.

Glory to God! Praise be to Him! Hallelujah!

Love, peace, and blessings,

David
