He is light and we are in the darkness!<br />
1 John 1:8 -<br />
1 John 1:10 -<br />
make plain that we are sinners by nature and by practice. That is, we have a sinful,<br />
fallen nature, verse 8, and commit acts <strong>of</strong> sin, verse 10.<br />
No one is sinless in this life - these verses declare this and experience confirms it.<br />
Only One has ever lived without sin.<br />
Hebrews 7:26 -<br />
The rest <strong>of</strong> us are sinful.<br />
1 Kings 8:46 -<br />
Ecclesiastes 7:20 -<br />
Romans 3:20 -<br />
Romans 3:23 -<br />
How can a holy God have fellowship with us who are so sinful<br />
4. THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY.<br />
That way is through the Person and work <strong>of</strong> God’s Son, Who came to earth and shed<br />
His blood to provide salvation for all who would put their trust in Him.<br />
In 1 John 3:5 -<br />
we are told why Jesus came from heaven to earth.<br />
In 1 John 1:7 -<br />
we are told that, when we come into the light <strong>of</strong> God’s presence, acknowledging our<br />
sin, He removes the barrier <strong>of</strong> sin and we have fellowship ‘one with another’. That is,<br />
with God (the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit), and with all believers.<br />
But how is our sin dealt with and removed<br />
By ‘the blood <strong>of</strong> Jesus Christ God’s Son’.<br />
