STATUS UPDATE – “IF WE SAY…”

The LORD God Almighty very categorically states that, “23…all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” – Romans 3:23. It simply means, “10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:” – Romans 3:10. The LORD further emphasises that, “6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.” – Isaiah 64:6.

The GOOD NEWS that Christmas brings to us, who are utterly lost, is this – “16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned…” – John 3:16-18.

Therefore, “8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.” – 1 John 1:8.

May the LORD help us set things right.
