Confession Restores Fellowship

CLICK HERE FOR THE LIFE GROUP DISCUSSION GUIDE CONTAINING DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

When we claim to not have sin in our life, we have taken God off the throne of our life and sat on it in His place.

When we confess sin, we experience the wonder of God’s faithfulness.

The faithfulness of God is infinitely greater than the earthly consequences of your sin.

Confession is agreeing with God about the nature of your sin.

Expiation: Our guilt has been taken away; penalty has been paid.
 
Propitiation: Jesus appeased the wrath of God by the sacrifice He made for us. He no longer sees us as enemies.

Series Information

The Apostle John writes these letters to the church from a shepherd’s heart caring the sheep.  Many trials will come to test us and discrouge us and even cause confusion.  The letters of John are to give us assurance that Christ is sufficient and that we can stand there.  This will give us confidence to stand in the truth in the face of testing and trials.
