Forgiveness – Day 21

John wanted to warn the church that there are false teachers who twisted the Gospel to suit their own agendas. John warned the church against them and taught them the truth.

1 kaJohane 1

Ukuhamba ekukhanyeni

5Nanti izwi esalizwa kuye, sinishumayeza lona lokuthi uNkulunkulu ungukukhanya, ubumnyama abukho kuye nakanye. 6Uma sithi sinenhlanganyelo naye sibe sisahamba ebumnyameni, sinamanga, asenzi iqiniso; 7kepha uma sihamba ekukhanyeni, njengalokhu yena uqobo esekukhanyeni, khona sinenhlanganyelo omunye nomunye, negazi likaJesu iNdodana yakhe liyasihlambulula ezonweni zonke.

8Uma sithi asinasono, siyazikhohlisa, neqiniso alikho kithi. 9Uma sizivuma izono zethu, uthembekile, ulungile ukuba asithethelele izono, asihlambulule kukho konke ukungalungi. 10Uma sithi asonanga, simenza umqambimanga, nezwi lakhe alikho kithi.

1 kaJohane 2

UJesu Kristu unguMmeli

1Bantwana bami, nginilobela lokhu ukuba ningoni. Kepha uma umuntu ona, sinoMmeli kuYise, uJesu Kristu olungileyo; 2yena uyinhlawulo ngezono zethu, kungengezethu zodwa kodwa nangezezwe lonke.

Walk in the light!

One of the false teachings is that believers have no sin in them (8) and have not sinned (10).  This is a deception and a rejection of the truth, even implying that God lies.  John stated the opposite in verse 9, the truth.  Confess sins because we sin and have sinned.  The result of this confession – God’s faithfulness affirms that we have received forgiveness for the confessed sins and those sins have been washed away by the blood of Jesus.
