The severity of denying our sin (1 Jn 1:10). Consistency in the Word and self-examination allows us to show ourselves approved (2 Tim 2:15; Rom 12:2).

(Ps 37:3-5) Feed on God’s faithfulness. Communion: Symbols reminding us of Christ’s work on the cross (1 Cor 11:23-26). The faith of Abraham (Gen 12:1-4; 15:5-6; 22:1-19). Contemporary examples.

Contrasting reasons 1 John 1:9 is about fellowship rather than justification (Rom 6:6; Jn 13). Confession contradicts grace.

(Ps 139:1-4) God is in control through hardships. Gifts from the Holy Spirit; contrast between thinking of world and thinking of God (1 Cor 2:12; Ps 119:18).

(Ps 118:24) Doctrines of Pneumatology, Epistemology, and Anthropology (1 Cor 2:11)

Is it possible to stop sinning (1 Jn 1:8; Rom 7:25)? Doctrine of sin/hamartiology, positional and experiential truth. We can’t become sinless but we can sin less (Rom 5:6).

(Isa 40:28-31) God empowers the weak. Trust in God’s timing and purpose. The Omniscience of God. Illumination vs. Revelation. Progressive revelation (1 Cor 2:10).

Walking in light, continuous cleansing, positional sanctification (1 John 1:7; Prov 3:5-6). If God’s in the light, we should be in the light, so we can have fellowship with Him.

(Psa 31:19) Communion. (1 Cor 2:9)

Holiness and Sanctification. Sin, deception, and moral responsibility (1 John 1:5-6). Believers have a moral responsibility to align their lives with divine truth.
