1 John 1:9 - The missing time element

- Опубликовано: 1 дек 2024
- 1 John 1:9 is generally taught as stating the necessity of continual sin confession in the life of a believer with the aim to restore fellowship with God that was supposedly lost. We will examine the question whether such a continual practice is actually supported by the text and look into other passages that shed more light on the topic.
Okay, I just love when the Spirit removes another cobweb of wrong teaching in my head to help me understand right teaching!
To know your verb tenses is everything in this passage, and ever since the past two days of teaching topics from the brethern here, I've realized this:
Cherry picking verses is not exegeting scriptures; attaching wrong grammar seals the wrong teaching.
Do you know what I was taught? Every promise is in the tense of "possibility." As in verses that have "If." It reduces God to Santa Claus. If you're good, you get presents. If you confess your sins, you'll be forgiven. Those "if"'s get translated by wolves as "maybe"'s and you're left with no assurance of salvation. Once you're clear on this, you can't unsee it. Thank you for going over the grammar of these verses for deeper understanding, Eva!!
AMEN!!! 💯 UNDENIABLE TRUTH! 🔥⛲👑🎁🤍🩸🕊️🙌 The only thing seperating anyone from God and His Extravagant Love is their own UNBELIEF in what He has CLEARLY said.
Amen, thank you for pointing that out, ❤
Amen! Beautiful insight, and a gem of a find about the word confess!

Thank you for this Eva, my wife listened this morning and she was so amazed and freed telling me about it, Now I’m hear listening, 🎉😅

Thank you!!!!
I love that bit about the veil not being put up again & again. Great point. That veil has been torn. Destroyed. There is nothing that keeps us from the Father! ❤
Outstanding teaching !!
Thankyou dear sister❤
Jesus blood cleansed is of ALL our sins once and for all. The veil was torn and we can come confidently to the throne of grace
Thankyou Jesus🙏
Thanks Eva. You have made this passage so clear!❤
Amen & Thank you Eva !!!
Amen! I thought this was very interesting. Because in the very next chapter (1 John 2) we are told something that is in direct contradiction to 1 John 1:9, if that passage is speaking of believers having to confess their sins in order to “get back in fellowship” with God:
1 John 2:1-2 NKJV
My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an ADVOCATE with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. [2] And He Himself is the PROPITIATION for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.
Advocate - a person (as a lawyer) who works and argues in support of another's cause especially in court. 2. : a person or group that defends or maintains a cause or proposal. a consumer advocate.
Propitiation - The act of gaining or regaining the favor or goodwill of someone or something : the act of propitiating : appeasement.
So as we can see, JESUS CHRIST is the one who advocates to God on our behalf when we sin! And he also regains our right standing with the Father for us!
We are never out of fellowship with God, because Jesus is our mediator! He advocates for us that we have already been forgiven for all of our sins THROUGH HIMSELF. Nothing will be able to separate us from the love of God through Christ Jesus. If we were constantly in and out of fellowship with God, the burden or yoke of bondage would be put back on us until we “made things right” with God. And we know that a believer can never be separated from the love of God, or be under ANY condemnation. That includes being out of fellowship with him. 🙌🏽
@taylormuse-22 Amen to: "We are never out of fellowship with God". But notice what you said here: Jesus "regains our right standing with the Father for us". So - our right standing was lost after all - AKA fellowship broken - and must be "regained"? This is a common misconception - Jesus' role as an advocate interpreted as Him having to appease the Father on our behalf. Instead of explaining it all here: I have a video on this, you might want to check it out:

Wonderful!!
Jesus Only Believe Jesus Only Jesus is God and He is coming back soon Thank you Jesus. Good message sister.
Yes, Jesus is the Son of God and the only way to God the Father.
Absolutely added another insightful detail to dissipate the wrong interpretation of 1John 1:9.
Thank you Eva!
🙌
Really good.....thanks Eva! 🙏💙
awesome video.
I am a sinner and the blood of Jesus Christ covers all of sins. And the Resurrection justifies
You mention a “veil.” In Mormonism, which borrows heavily from esotericism, in order to get into the highest level of heaven, you have to present a certain handshake and passwords through “the veil.” This is a clear perversion of the truth, where the veil between us and God is permanently destroyed. The veil in the temple was torn from the top to the bottom, showing that God made the way for us to enter His presence through His Son.
Praise God! I love the significance of the temple veil being torn from top to bottom proving that it was clearly an act of God.
Amen
