CONFESS OUR SINS / 1 JOHN 1:9

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 John 1:9

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

CONFESS OUR SINS / 1 JOHN 1:9

God is more than willing to forgive us for the ways we have offended Him and defied His standards. After all, that is why He sent His Son, Jesus, to die in our place and pay the penalty for our sin. But in order to receive His forgiveness, we must willingly admit that we have gone our own way and defied God. We must then submit to Jesus’ authority and allow him to purify our lives spiritually. God’s response to such humility and surrender is consistent with His faithful character (Psalms 143:1) and forgiving nature (Jeremiah 31:34; Hebrews 10:22-23).

  1. By providing complete forgiveness and restoring us to a right relationship with Himself.
  2. By purifying us from the guilt and destruction of sin. God does this so we can relate to Him in holiness (moral purity, spiritual wholeness, separation from evil and dedication to God; Psalms 32:1-5; Proverbs 28:13; Jeremiah 31:1-5; Luke 15:18; Romans 6:2-14).

WALK IN THE LIGHT / 1 JOHN 1:7

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 John 1:7

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

WALK IN THE LIGHT / 1 JOHN 1:7

“Walk in the light” means to believe and accept God’s truth as revealed in His Word and to make an earnest and sustained effort, with His help, to live by God’s truth in words and actions. The expression, “the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin,” refers to the ongoing work of sanctification (spiritual and moral purification, refinement, growth, development, maturity and preparation for God;s purposes) within the lives of those who follow Christ. Through the inner presence of His Holy Spirit, God provides continual cleansing for a believer’s unknown and unintentional sins. John is probably not thinking here of deliberate defiance against God and His standard, since he speaks of walking in the light. This continual purifying allows us to have intimate companionship with God.

FELLOWSHIP WITH HIM / 1 JOHN 1:6

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 John 1:6

If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

FELLOWSHIP WITH HIM / 1 JOHN 1:6

To “walk in the darkness” means to live outside of God’s truth and a personal relationship with Him. It means to reject God’s standards and pursue one’s own direction toward selfish and immoral pleasure. People who live this way do not “have fellowship with Him,” and are “not born of God” (1 John 3:7-9; John 3:19; 2 Corinthians 6:14). Their actions show that they do not have a saving relationship with God. But those who have accepted God’s forgiveness and the opportunity to have true companionship with Christ experience His favor, help and strength to live in spiritual purity and to do what is right by God’s standard (1 John 1:7; 2:4; 3:10).

FELLOWSHIP WITH US / 1 JOHN 1:3

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 John 1:3

That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

FELLOWSHIP WITH US / 1 JOHN 1:3

“Fellowship” (Greek koinonia) literally means “having in common” and involves sharing and participation with other believers. Christians have fellowship because they have many things in common, including their faith (Titus 1:4; Jude 1:3), God’s grace – His unearned favor, love and help – through Christ (1 Corinthians 1:9; Philippians 1:7), The Holy Spirit living within them (John 20:22; Romans 8:9, 11) and the gifts of the Spirit (Romans 15:27). All Christians are also in a spiritual battle with the same enemy (1 John 2:15-18; 1 Peter 5:8). Christ’s followers can have no true God-honoring fellowship with those who reject the teaching of New Testament faith (2 John 1:7-11; Galatians 1:9).

ETERNAL LIFE / 1 JOHN 1:2

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 John 1:2

(For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)

ETERNAL LIFE / 1 JOHN 1:2

John defines eternal life in terms of Christ Himself. In his Gospel account, John says, “Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent” (John 17:3). This means that eternal life is not only a future hope but also a present reality that we can begin to experience from the time we enter a personal relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ. True life can only be found through obedient faith in Jesus Christ and a vital personal relationship with Him (1 John 1:2, 6-7; 2:22-25; 5:20).

THAT WHICH WAS FROM THE BEGINNING – SEEN WITH OUR EYS OUR HAND HAVE TOUCHED / 1 JOHN 1:1

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 John 1:1

 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;

THAT WHICH WAS FROM THE BEGINNING – SEEN WITH OUR EYS OUR HAND HAVE TOUCHED / 1 JOHN 1:1

THAT WHICH WAS FROM THE BEGINNING

John introduces this letter (1 John 1:1-4) in a way that is similar to the introduction of his Gospel (his narrative account of Jesus’ life; John 1:1-2).

SEEN WITH OUR EYES … OUR HANDS HAVE TOUCHED

John begins the letter with the witness of his personal knowledge of Jesus. He can confirm the fact that the One who existed from eternity “became flesh” (a real flesh-and-blood man, John 1:14). He was true God and true man (Hebrews 2:14). This testimony directly contradicts a false teaching that was circulated, which denied that Jesus is the Christ (the promised Savior from God) and that Christ truly existed in physical form. This false teaching was an early form of Gnosticism, which taught that “spirit” (the spirit realm) is basically good, while “matter” (the physical world) is basically evil. This led to the belief that salvation was achieved through escape from the body, which came not by faith in Christ, but by special knowledge (the Greek word for “knowledge” is gnosis). This incorrect belief caused some people to reject Jesus’ true humanity (1 John 2:22-23; 4:3) and led to other strange ideas, such as the thought that Jesus only appeared to have a physical body rather than actually having a physical body. John directly refutes these ideas by clearly describing Jesus as the Son of God in physical human form (1 John 1:1; 2:22; 4:2-3).

SHE LOVED MUCH / LUKE 7:47

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 7:47

 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.

SHE LOVED MUCH / LUKE 7:47

Real love for and devotion to Jesus come from a deep awareness of (a) the sinfulness of our past condition apart from Christ, (b) His love for us revealed when He gave His life on the cross and (c) the inner assurance that we are now forgiven and cared for by God Himself. Faith that is not based on these foundations will not endure.

WEEPING / LUKE 7:37-38

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 7:37-38

 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, 38 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

WEEPING / LUKE 7:37-38

Because of her love for Jesus, this woman is willing to humble herself and wet His feet with her tears, taking no thought of what others might think of her. A person’s weeping can reveal a range of things. It can be an expression of sorrow and grief, joy and elation, or of grateful love for Christ.

  1. By weeping in prayer and faith, believers can often express to God what is in their hearts, without using words. The Lord values such tears as if they are an offering or act of service to Him (Luke 7:34-50; Psalms 126:5-6; Jeremiah 9:1; 14:17; 31:15-16; Acts 20:19, 31; 2 Corinthians 2:4; Nehemiah 8:9). Tears are sometimes evidence of identifying with Christ as one endures rejection and shares in His sufferings (2 Corinthians 1:5; Philippians 3:10; 1 Peter 4:13).
  2. Christ Himself wept with compassion for spiritually lost people (Luke 19:40-41; John 11:35). The apostle Paul (a pioneer missionary who started many New Testament churches and wrote many of the New Testament letters or “books”) served the Lord with many tears: tears of joy over those who had believed on Christ and tears of grief over those who had not (Acts 20:19; 2 Corinthians 2:4). Even today God’s people who weep are considered blessed and will eventually find joy (Luke 6:21). In Christ’s future eternal kingdom, God will wipe away all tears from the eyes of His people (He will do away with all reasons for sorrow, grief and pain, Revelation 7:17; Revelation 21:4). For more concerning prayer and tears, read 2 Kings 20:5; Psalms 39:12; Psalms 56:8).

WISDOM IS PROVED RIGHT BY ALL HER CHILDREN / LUKE 7:35

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 7:35

 But wisdom is justified of all her children.

WISDOM IS PROVED RIGHT BY ALL HER CHILDREN LUKE 7:35

In contrast to the foolish critics, spiritually wise people could see from the results that the ministries of both Jesus and John were truly godly and complemented each other, despite their somewhat different approaches (John was the one sent to prepare the way for Jesus Luke 7:27).

GLUTTON AND A DRUNKARD / LUKE 7:34

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 7:34

The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!

GLUTTON AND A DRUNKARD / LUKE 7:34

The Greek word for wine (oinos) in the New Testament was a general word that may be used for all kinds of wine, both unfermented and fermented. (Fermentation is the bio-chemical process by which yeast acts on sugars, breaking them down into alcohol, causing a beverage to become potentially intoxicating.) Jesus’ statement suggests that He drank some types of wine, while John did not. However, it cannot be determined from this passage what types of wine He drank since the Pharisees’ allegations concerning Jesus’ character are clearly false. They accuse Jesus of being a glutton and a drunkard, but these statements were designed to destroy His influence as a teacher of truth (Matthew 12:24; John 7:20; 8:48). The Bible clearly condemns drunkenness (Proverbs 20:1; 23:31; Ephesians 5:18; Romans 13:13; 1 Corinthians 5:11; 6:10; 1 Peter 4:3; Proverbs 23:31).
