As much as the world likes to remember Jesus first coming during the Christmas season, we need to remind them that his Second Coming will be even greater. We want to be prepared — lives dedicated to his glory and hearts full of expectation at his coming. PRAYER: Loving God, I know Jesus will come again. May I be found faithful and expectant when he returns. Thank you for sending him the first time to live in my world and take away my sin. Thank you even more for his next coming to take me to live in your world and share in your victory over sin. In the name of Jesus my Lord, I pray. Amen. ROLAND KLINE 1 John 1:8 KJV If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. Insight Here, John was attacking the second claim of the false teachers: that people had no natural tendency toward sin, that they “[had] no sin, and that they were then incapable of sinning. This idea is at best self-deception and at worst a bald-faced lie. The false teachers refused to take sin seriously. They wanted to be considered Christians, but they saw no need to confess and repent. The death of Christ did not mean much to them because they didnt think they needed it. Instead of repenting and being purified by Christs blood, they were encouraging sin among believers. Challenge In this life we are always capable of sinning, so we should never let down our guard.
