I can't even begin to comment on this one. In this sermon I have learned more about my salvation than I ever have in all the study and discussion I've had my whole life. My words do it no justice. Thank you for revealing to me the full extent of what Jesus has done for me. You said it so simply and plainly that I could finally understand what the real deal is. God Bless you my brother. When I'm ready, I will be attending your worship services. This subject of sin and confession has vexed me my entire life and you have shown me that I have been in a saved condition the entire time since I confessed that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God and that He is my Lord and Saviour even though I am a continual sinner. All this time I've been led to believe that I am in and out of a saved condition but you have finally explained to me how that way of thinking is not correct. Thank you for freeing me from my ignorance brother.
So many religious nuts on these groups trying to keep all the old testament laws in the FLESH!!!!!! (Galatians 3 King James Version (KJV) 3 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? 2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?) You are in pride self righteousness error the FLESH ,you are worshiping another Jesus ,gospel with another spirit , placing yourself back under the curse of the law , (4 Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain. 5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. 9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. 10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. 11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. 12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. 13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.) 2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. 3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.2 Corint 11 ) Romans 8 King James Version (KJV) 8 (There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: 4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. 12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. 13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:)REPENT GET BORN AGAIN GET OUT OF THAT RELIGIOUS CULT SEEK THE REAL JESUS !!!!!!!
How is it that virtually 99% of all pastors, commentators, and scholars I've listened to, watched, and read, misinterpret 1st John (and especially 1st John 1:9), yet this guy very clearly, correctly, and succinctly, exposited 1st John 1? Praise God, someone got it right!
Wow Andrew! Praise God! This is so exciting for me as I received a revelation some 10+ years ago about this very thing, and without understanding it as you have so beautifully and clearly put it, God told me, that this verse was a once and for all confession, as the work in the cross was complete, and He said to me; "it is done" Amen! It's so exciting to have revelation and then to have it explained! God bless you and yours! Thank you for your teachings and for unpacking the gospel without religion! ❤
@@2Chronicles714_ Hi, what about 1 John 2:1-2 "My dear children, I write this to you so that you WILL NOT SIN. But IF (not when) anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father-Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. 2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world."
@@2Chronicles714_ but Joe, you are then discounting the Word of God that says ALL our sins have been forgiven? We have been conveyed from darkness into THE SON OF His love Col.1:13, which means we are no longer in our "own" timeline, which has a beginning and end, but rather we have been conveyed, transferred, if you will, into the kingdom of the Son of His love, so we are now found in Christ Jesus' timeline; "the old has gone the new has come" 2 Corn. 5:17 ... I am not saying that we should not confess if we sin, but we are told that we SHOULD NOT sin anymore, the one is the willful, choice to disobey God and His statutes, while the other is more walking in the flesh. Now the sins we committed have ALL been forgiven, while the walking after the flesh is still being worked out, this is the working out of our salvation in fear and trembling bit; Phil.2:12 this is the sanctification that takes place while we are found perfect in His sight, Heb.10:14 ... So when we walk after the flesh, we run to Abba and thank Him for the forgiveness Christ paid for, we do not have to ask for it again, it has already been given. I really want to discuss this with you more, but i would like to do so via WhatsApp if you are cool with that?
i’ve have been researching this subject out. What about our fellowship being broken? I see the man that had his father’s wife was called an evil person, even though his spirit was born again, and he was saved. He was expelled and came to repentance found in second Corinthians chapter 2. Godly sorrow produces repentance. God said I am light and in me is no darkness at all. Walk in the light as I am in light and we have fellowship. You you love me you obey my commands he said. When we are in the flesh is our fellowship broken?
@@FreshStart83 Bless you! The truth is that we should not be sinning! We are instructed about this throughout the bible: Jesus told the woman caught in adultery; "your sins are forgiven, go and sin no more." John in 1 John 2:1 says very clearly that he "tells us these things so that we will not sin" and then goes on to say; "but IF (not when) you sin, we have an advocate with the Father." Paul tells the church in Corinth; "Awake to righteousness, and do not sin." And to the church in Colossae, that they are "to put to death your members which are on earth: fornication, uncleanliness, passion, evil desire and covetousness, which is idolatry..." all sin, and it goes on. Peter said in 1 Peter that "Christ suffered for us, leaving us AN EXAMPLE, that you should follow His steps: 'who committed no sin, nor was deceit found in His mouth.' " In 1 John 3:3 "And everyone who has this hope in Him PURIFIES himself, just as He is pure.: And probably the most "in your face" scripture regarding us not sinning is 1 John 3:6-7 "Whoever abides in Him DOES NOT SIN. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him. Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous." And a scripture that is often misinterpreted, being Romans 6:15 "What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means!" You see, grace is supernatural strength NOT TO SIN :-) Now of course, one needs to understand what "sin" is, because we did all once sin and fall short of the glory of God, because we were all born into the likeness of Adam Gen.5:1-5 so we were all born into the fallen nature of man, that is why we all need to be born ag:ain! And once we accept Christ as LORD and not only Saviour, and we surrender EVERYTHING, that is all we are, and all we will be, and everything we have and will have and truly live FROM Him, not FOR Him, but FROM Him (Gal.2:20) realising the we, our flesh, our own desires etc. have been crucified and are dead, so we live FROM Him for the world, to share Jesus and give hope to the hopeless, then we do not sin. Sin is the conscious, deliberate, intentional decision to go against the will of God! If the Word says not to steal and you choose to steal, then you are sinning. If you are having sex outside of marriage, knowing that this is against God's will, then you are sinning! Get it? :-) Now, IF we sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus the Christ who intervenes and reminds the Father that He shed His blood for our forgiveness, and for that we are forever grateful! And when you are made aware that you have sinned, you will automatically come to the Father and say you are sorry for hurting Him and saddening Him because of your sin, but you see, the verse Andrew is referring to, is not speaking of this. That verse is speaking of us in the world, before coming to Christ, thinking that we are "good" or "kind" or that "i have never killed anyone, stolen from anyone or used God's name in vain" cos NONE of those things will give us eternal life, cos whether we had or had not done those things, we had been born in the likeness and image of sinful man, in the likeness of Adam after the fall, so our spirits were cut off from God and dead, so NOTHING you did in your soul or body was going to bring life to you! That is something ONLY Jesus the Christ is able to do! Luke 19:10 "Jesus came to seek and to save THAT which was lost." What is the "THAT"? It is the spirit, the relationship with Father God, the perfection of Eden before the fall! Without accepting that we NEED Him, and we accept His forgiveness that was paid for at the cross, we will NEVER have the "THAT" for which He died victoriously! I have put so much into this reply ... i pray Holy Spirit helps you to see the truth and that the seed will fall into fertile soil and that it grow into a mighty oak that will make shade and shelter for many, and that it produces MUCH good fruit! If you would like to chat about this more, please feel free to email me, or even visit my TH-cam page at "Living From The Word" and my email is: LivingFromTheWord@gmail.com I look forward to chatting with you some more :-) Be blessed and remember to always be a blessing.
This guy is humble and sincere. My (and the church for 1500 years before the Reformation) view is that this is still a modern, itching ear, novel teaching. The finished (provided) work needs to be abided in (applied) and enjoyed. One can apostasise. The Scripture is clear. We have been cleansed of our past sins. We are not to abandon the One Who alone has the words of eternal life. Glory.
Some people here (below) seem to find it SO HARD to accept that Jesus' sacrifice on the cross was COMPLETE for us, and like He said there, "IT IS FINISHED!" A "human condition", I'm afraid, that makes SUCH an amazing an incomparable work of GRACE, so HARD to fathom that there MUST be something WE have to DO for it!! But Nope! All we need to do is accept it!! Praise God! Thank you for this wonderful explanation!
I once had a dream where I was in the blackest of darkness as a lost person. God had told me I was there in proxy for the unsaved to spur me on in sharing the gospel. Later I told my pastor the dream and he condemned me by saying that it was me in the darkness and that I had to repent and ask for forgiveness. He is no longer pastor of that church.
As I read this verse way back in around 1986 I seen this but still confessed my sin, well what I thought was sin if you get my meaning. I came across you a few weeks ago and God spoke to me through your opening this verse up and now I live it. No more confessing. I'm forgiven completly. I know it's nothing to do with feelings but I can't help feeling different in my mind. Praise God.
If people got rid of the TV, did not read newspapers and then looked around themselves experientially the virus and the fear would be gone. We tend to forget that people die all the time of viruses, bacterial infections, disease, old age. Yet when you are reminded of this every minute, every hour of every day and the blame goes on a virus rather than the co morbidities that were largely the contributing factors to the deaths then people believe through induced fear. This fear is then used to control and to get people to give up their freedom, liberty and autonomy. For those that are unable to see this truth yet, please bare the following in mind: the only barrier to truth is the presumption that you already have it. There is so much riding on this that you owe it to yourself and your children or grandchildren to open your eyes, listen to all sides, but do not blindly trust. God bless you all Please wake up
Truth! I have been in agreement of this truth for years and have been called so many things. Thank you for speaking on this a foundational truth, and the double talk the church has been teaching for ever. Originally heard this from Bob George. God bless
I was sweeping the floor at a special needs clients house when the Lord shouted through my whole being , I HAVE FORGIVEN YOU OF ALL YOUR SINS !!!! I dropped the broom and ran around the house rejoicing , Ronnie just watched me in bewilderment and then went back to watching TV LOL !! The habit Of confessing all my sins was hard to break ! But when I thought of a daily sacrifice being made for every sin I though even the Hebrews had it easier sacrificing a lamb once a year for their sins! Jesus was sacrificed once for all I apologize to God for messing up but I don't ask him to forgive me anymore! I say thankyou you have already forgiven me! I realized that I was confusing his grace causing me to feel clean with a mental assent of a physical act of confessing and asking for forgiveness like a Catholic ! Sorry Catholics but that's what it is!
Not sure if anyone gives a damn but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times you can watch pretty much all the new movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Have been binge watching with my brother for the last few weeks =)

To confess Christ is to confess salvation and righteousness (see Romans 10:10) Instead of practicing sin and guilt consciousness (see Hebrews 10:22), practice righteousness consciousness by confessing (homologia, "say the same as") what God's Word says about you..."I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. (see 2 Corinthians 5:21).
All Glory to You Lord Jesus and thank You for unveiling this verse thru' this brother; thank you brother, Lord Jesus loves and blesses you hallelujah - Emmanuel, amen!
The gospel is that justification is by faith alone-the righteousness of faith. 1Jn. 1:9 negates this. By Christ’s once and forever effective sacrifice, believers are cleansed of all sins, not just judicially but totally /completely. There’s no such thing as parental forgiveness and God will not withhold fellowship from his beloved children unless or until they confess their sins and beg forgiveness. It’s normal to confess in the sense of saying you’re sorry but you don’t confess to be forgiven or to be cleansed because you have already been forgiven and cleansed. To believe and act otherwise is an insult to what Christ has done.
Forgiveness is NOT conditional on you With your mouth confessing your sin. What if you forget one of your sins? Are you lost? Do you lose your salvation? NO! It is finished! Done! Ch 1 warning to gnostics in the body, but look at 1 John 2:12.....to Beleivers on the finished work of the cross. "I am writing to you, dear children, because your sins have been forgiven on account of his name."
Walk is condition not position. Though we are children of light we are told to walk as we are. In other words a child of light can walk in darkness or out of fellowship. This is not works based justification, this is faith based sanctification. Romans 6-8 bro.
We Christians don't need nor desire to apologize for telling the truth! It needs to be told and heard, weather people receive it or not! Let those ignorant remain ignorant!
Amen.I love the book of Hebrews because it was written to the ones that were under the law (Jews) and [Hebrews 1:3] [Hebrews 10:10-12] & [Hebrews 10:2] Makes [1 John 1:9] a completely Disannulling for the believer to the Jew and the Gentile.
The pastor states that 1 john 9 is a standalone and no other verse gives a instructions on what to do with after conversion sin. This verse matthew 6:14 does: 14 For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, 15 but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. This verse immediately follows the Lord's Prayer where Jesus tells us believers to ask for forgiveness.
We cannot just be sin admitters and be content or happy with it (Rom.6:1-6) - and this can change a person's position - to abide in Christ - to practice righteousness - to hold fast - continue in the faith Col.1:23 - grounded and steadfast (not moved away from the hope) - or some Christian are content with a sinful life - as if we are still sitting without victory not to sin - In Christ we are free - but that means we reign over sin and abide in Christ - if not we are deceiving ourselves if we think that sin hold us further in slavery
Instead of assuming 1 John 1 is written to counter Gnostic error, it is better to see it is as evangelistic and aimed at unbelieving Jews in particular. Galatians 2 shows the 11 Apostles were to carry on their ministry to the Jews, while Paul and Barnabas reached out to the Gentiles with the Gospel. (Gal. 2:9: and when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that had been given to me, they gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.) After all, who really thought they had no sin other than the unsaved religious Jewish leaders? As the natural offspring of Abraham, they believed they had the inside track with God. So a careful reading of 1 John sans commentaries and assumptions re Gnostic opposition, will give us the only understanding consistent with all the scriptures. The difficult problem of the "we" in 1 John 1:9 is then easily seen as "we Jews", a common way of the Apostles appealing across national and blood ties to allow their Gospel to be heard. With this understanding, 1 John 1:9 is taken from it's unnatural setting as a way of maintaining fellowship with Christ and seen in it's true position of offering a once and for all repentance of sin and an accepting of salvation in Christ. The foot washing of John 13, alluded to by the speaker in this video, is the true way of maintaining fellowship with Christ and is far more than an example of humility, though it is that as well. To only see humility in this familiar scene is to miss the absolute imperative Christ puts here on His own teaching. Sometimes I wonder if anyone has actually heard what Christ said to Peter in this crucial teaching!!! Listen to what Christ ACTUALLY SAYS: 7 Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will know after this.”8 Peter said to Him, “You shall never wash my feet!”Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me.”9 Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!”10 Jesus said to him, “He who is bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you.” 11 For He knew who would betray Him; therefore He said, “You are not all clean.” COMMENT: Notice Christ called Peter and the others (save Judas) "clean"...yet He still insists of washing their dirty feet!!! In fact, it's mandatory or there will be no fellowship with Him (no part in Me). The believer is forever clean because he is a brand new person in Christ, and like Him, sinless before God. His old self was crucified with Christ and is forever separated from God's presence and consideration. Christ is the resurrection and the life and we believers have been resurrected with Him to have a living relationship as intimate spiritually as the best earthly marriages dimly mirror. So WHY is Christ eager to wash our feet? We have no "dirt" in our new selves, but we walk in a dirty world. Just as those walking home from a public bath could not help but get their feet dirty, so we cannot shield our hearts and minds from the filth of this world. Seriously, we don't even have to try, it is unavoidable. And many are the solutions extended...yet none of them can compare with Christ washing our minds and hearts with the Word of God so we can stay renewed in the love relationship with Him He died to make possible.
This letter may have been written to christians who were being tempted to adopt gnostic doctrine; in order to prevent christians from being trapped by this kind of doctrine; to show the believers of such doctrine that they were wrong, therefore, in great danger.
These Hypergrace Illuminati Jesuit dispendsationalists are lying through their teeth. This is mass social engineering at work. They want to reinvent the entire Protestant landscape....the last phase of counter reformation before the introduce the Lawless One. 1 John 1:9 was addressed to believers. DON't believe this viper! He does not even believe in commandment of Jesus. He is a fake. An implant.
Please show us where in any of Pauls Epistles where a born again believer has to ask God or Christ for Our sins to be forgiven. Forgiveness doesnt come in Installments son. Nice try though.
Romans 3:24-25 Speaks of God passing by of sin before the cross in that he saved believing Old Testament sinners without having their sins paid for. They were granted righteousness as well which he speaks of in Romans 4 . That translation you are quoting is erroneous to say the least. Jesus Christ sacrifice covered all sin back to Adam and forward to eternity. To suggest that Christ sacrifice only covered our sins up to salvation then we have to invoke 1 John 1:9 to get forgiven again is a mockery of his sacrifice , or as the Hebrews writer put it in chapter ten"Trampling under foot the son of God and Insulting the Spirit of Grace. Moreover one sacrifice was all that was needed to take away all sin past present and future: but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at the right hand of God, 13 waiting from that time onward until His enemies be made a footstool for His feet. 14 For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified. 15 And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us; for after saying, 16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them After those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws upon their heart, And on their mind I will write them,” He then says, 17 “And their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” 18 Now where there is forgiveness of these things, there is no longer any offering for sin.
"Our past sins were forgiven when we repented, and our present and future sins will be forgiven upon repentance.See 1 Jn 1: 7--10. 1 Jn 2: 1--2. This has to be the worst theology i have ever heard. Explain to me why Paul NEVER told his converts that they had to seek forgiveness after salvation? Where did he tell a born again believer they had to confess there sins to be forgiven again? Paul told the Ephesians in 1:7 they have forgiveness of sin according to the riches of His grace.Johns epistle is NOT a doctrinal boook but Pauls epistles are. If what you believe is true that we have to confess and repent of future sins to be forgiven again then alot of believers were lost between AD 58 when Paul wrote Romans and AD 90 when john wrote his epistle. Paul never once told them they had to confess or repent to be forgiven again. Under your premise that we lose forgiveness by sin and need to confess to get re-forgiven then life under the old covenant was better. At least there sins were forgiven for the next year and day of atonement. If Jesus Christ ONE sacrifice for sin only covered our past before conversion then he must come back down from heaven to provide another sacrifice because without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin! Hebrews 9:22. FYI, John 2:12 says I am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven you for His name’s sake.FORGIVEN here is in the PERFECT TENSE. an action in the past with results that go on forever
The tense in 1 Jn 2: 12, Uses all the tenses, Tense: Perfect: Mood: Indicative: An assertion of a fact Voice: Passive: Subject receiving the action Every Translation uses the Perfect tense. Andrew is a linguistics Proffessor FWIW No matter, you have yet to offer evidence anywhere that a born again believer has to confess his sins to be forgiven AGAIN. If this were possible another blood sacrifice would be required and Christ already did it once. 2) Andrew in this teaching skillfully and properly employed the proper hermenutics and exegesis while you did nothing but bash with the same legalistic drivel. 3) Jesus Christ ONE sacrifice took away all sin past present and future. The notion that false teachers like you that suggest God forgives your past sins ONLY (Gives you a Clean record and its up to you to keep it clean by ones abilty to recall your every sin and confess them is putting the blood of Jesus on the same plane as a bull and a goat. Anyone with common sense realizes that Christ took away our sins 2000 years ago and those sins he took away were the sins we had yet to commit (Future). Please show me where Christ only took away SINS up to the point of our conversion? Your whole theology or position rests on one verse (1 John 1:9) which is always a bad position to take. Any Hermenutics proffessor will tell you that you dont build a theology on small sample sizes. There is no other verse in the New Covenant where we a BELIEVER has to CONFESS to Be FORGIVEN AGAIN. Why didnt Paul tell his churches and converts this ? Because he told them they are Forgiven and there sin debt has been cancelled Colossians 2:13-14). 13 When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us ALL our transgressions, 14 having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. From Gods vantage point you are dead to sin since you DIED : Colossians 3:3 For you have died (Aorist or point in time at conversion) and your life is hidden ( with Christ in God: Tense: Perfect). 4 When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory. God no longer COUNTS OUR SINS: 2 Corinthians 5:19 namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, NOT COUNTING their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation. REMEMBERS THEM NO MORE: Hebrews 10:16-18: “And their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” 18 Now where there is forgiveness of these things, there is no longer any offering for sin. To suggest that this is false teaching only proves how ignorant you are of what Christ did on the cross. If you are going to call Grace teachers false then Paul was false as well. He had legalizers like you following him around trying to to pull his converts back in to bondage as well. This is why he wrote his epistle to the Galatians. Andrew Farley is teaching the same Grace message Paul did and that bothers you because you are not capable of proving him wrong except the typical legalistic MO of pulling out scriptures out of context.
Andrew, this is the most freeing message I have ever heard. I just want everyone to hear this Truth. I have always been so confused about 1 John 1:9 because all the Christian churches i have been we must confess our sins whenever we sin. When I hear this from sermons at church then I was mixed up and confused about all the other verses around it. And 1 John 2:9 "He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now" and so I had to confess that to God every time I had a feeling of dislike of someone. But now i see. Thank you so much for teaching me the Truth. Does that mean my mind is being renewed when I learned the truth about 1 John 1:9?
Based on what i read this is not talking to Christians as our sins were forgiven past present and future when we trust in Christs death Burial and resurrection for salvation. I suspect this is being said in a context where the dispensation of Grace is not active so either before Paul was given his Gospel or when the body of believers are raptured from earth.
ah.. No. You are reading the dispensation of grace into John's letter written to the circumcision. Paul (our pattern) says in Galatians 2:9 "And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision". 1 John was to 'the little flock' and will be to 'the Jewish remnant' who must 'persevere to the end' during the 70th week of Daniel. God bless you, as you seek the depth and riches of his Word - Rightly Divided. Need some help? Do a TH-cam search on "John Wasn't Talking To You" by Grace Ambassadors.
So if were born into sin and jesus died for our sins doesnt that mean we should fight the sins we are tempted with in this world and forgive ourselves and learn from them..without sin we wouldnt know love (god)

When Jesus died for us on the cross the New Testemant really starts, remember when he he gave up his Spirit he said it is finished.Now look at Epeshians 4:32; 32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ FORGAVE you."Notice when Paul writes us to forgive one another as God in Christ FORGAVE you, as you can see he already forgave you before you have forgiven anyone that has done wrong to you.
"Mathew 6:12-15 is before the cross" who taught you these words? the dispensationalist heretic Darby? The charlatan Scofield? Don't tell me. You don't even know where this come from. I denounce that statement a blatant lie against the gospel of Jesus Christ! "Jesus was trying to show you that it was impossible to live by the law."????? Then why did He teach the Shema??? "Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these" Mark 12 :29-31
According to you, the words of Jesus Christ before the cross are not valid or useful, that is, according to what you said above, Jesus Christ is not the same yesterday, today and forever... He is one before the cross and another after the cross... well... strange...
whileMenslept 当人睡着时 According to you, the words of Jesus Christ before the cross are not valid or useful, that is, according to what you said above, Jesus Christ is not the same yesterday, today and forever... He is one before the cross and another after the cross... well... strange...
Edison Yammine "According to you, the words of Jesus Christ before the cross are not valid or useful, that is, according to what you said above," - NO Edison. Please don't misquote me. That's ABSOLUTE heresy and REBELLION...to claim that Jesus' words before the cross do not apply......and that's what these dispensationalist Hypergrace. You gotta understand who these people are..they're are NOT Christians...the same as the FALSE brethren of Galatians.....
AMEN AND AMEN, I thank CHRIST JESUS for HIS BLOOD SACRIFICE on the CROSS AT CALVARY- 1 Corinthians 15:1-4-KJV-DEATH, BURIAL, RESURRECTION. I thank Jesus Christ for His BLOOD that cleanses US BELIEVERS from ALL sins-PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE-Romans 4:6-8-KJV-Verse 7-whose sins are forgiven-PAST, whose sins are covered-PRESENT, Verse 8- to whom the Lord will not impute sin-FUTURE. I am so thankful that CHRIST JESUS paid for ALL my sins and KNOWING that ALL my sins are covered by the PRECIOUS BLOOD of JESUS CHRIST and whatever sin I happen to commit today or tomorrow, I KNOW FOR A FACT that those sins are FORGIVEN and COVERED by the BLOOD of JESUS CHRIST. We are all sinners and we will still sin even when SAVED as long as we are in the flesh- not deliberately because there are consequences-GOD WILL CHASTEN US-Hebrews 12:6-7-KJV. But WE as BELIEVERS can REST ASSURED KNOWING what JESUS CHRIST has done for us on the CROSS AT CALVARY. JESUS CHRIST PAID THE SIN DEBT IN FULL.
Most of us would agree that he's talking to Born Again Christians. The theme of John epistle is eternal life and eternal death, God is light and God is love. In the first chapter he talks about walking in the light of God who is absolutely perfect and no darkness is in Him at all. In 1st John 1:8 it clearly says, "If we say that we have no sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us." This is when we sin in one form or another and the Holy Spirit is convicting us of this sin. We know the words of the Lord Jesus when he said, "He (The Holy Spirit) will convict the world of sin because they believe not on me." The only sin that the Holy Spirit is convicting the world of is them not believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, as God In the Flesh, the only Savior of the world. He is not convicting the born-again Christian of this sin. However, if I lie to my brother, the Holy Spirit is going to convict me. My own human spirit is going to condemn this action as well if I'm truly Born Again and in fellowship with God. What this gentleman is failing to understand is that the wages of sin is still death, even for the Christian! Spiritual death automatically manifest in our spirits whenever we sin; Whether we like to believe that or not is irrelevant. The wages of sin is death! The wages of sin was death for Adam and Eve and they had never sinned before. The Holy Spirit Will convict us to confess this sin. "IF we confess the sin, (then) he will not only forgive us our sin but also cleanse us from all unrighteousness. The fact that we are legally the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus does not take away the fact that we have sinned and experienced spiritual death and broken fellowship with the God of Light. 1st John 1:9 goes on to say, "but if we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and HIS Word is not in us." Just because we are seated in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus does not mean that when we sin, our legal standing cleanses us from our sins. These scripture makes absolutely no sense unless they are twisted beyond recognition like this man has done to try to make it say something that it does not say at all..... It is talking about walking in the light of a holy God and that when we sin we need to confess these sins in order to obtain forgiveness and cleansing through the blood of Jesus Christ; after which we can resume fellowshipping with God and our Brothers and Sisters in Christ who are walking in the light as he is in the light. This is real folks! Remember the Lord Jesus Christ said, "if we will not forgive others our trespasses, we will not be forgiven." Does that mean what it says or not? In the very same way, if we do not confess our sins when we do sin, we will not be forgiven or cleansed and have Fellowship restored with Father God. Furthermore we're telling the Holy Spirit that's convicting of us this sin that He is in fact a liar for convicting us of this sin" These erroneous Winds of Doctrine are popping up everywhere and we need to get things straight in our hearts if we are going to really move ahead with God in this last hour before Christ return. Satan is attacking every fundamental Doctrine in an attempt to bring confusion to the body of Christ and lead off into the ditch of error. "that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head-Christ-"@Ephesians 4:14-15 NKJV I sincerely hope this helps someone. -John Lawrence
Actually no, it doesn't help, and you didnt listen to the message at all. Be honest...you didnt. I dont know where to start. John, Andrew Farley is a pure grace teacher, and you teach legalism. You said : " Remember the Lord Jesus Christ said, "if we will not forgive others our trespasses, we will not be forgiven." Does that mean what it says or not ? " That verse was not speaking to you, if you are a born again believer, living under the NEW covenant. Jesus was speaking to JEWS - He came to the lost sheep of the house of Israel who had been burdened for centuries under the LAW. They had no spiritual currency because they were spiritually bankrupt. Under the LAW, it was incumbent to forgive in order to be forgiven. You also had to love the lord with all your heart soul and mind. And give away all your wealth to the poor. And carry your cross. And surrender your all. While your at it, pluck out your eye and chop off your right hand. Do you see what Jesus was doing ? He was elevating the Law in the eyes of the people to show them that no one could do it or would be willing to do it. Im going to stop there. Please listen to the message.
Robert Lassche thank you for correcting that false information he posted. It hurts to see so many still lost under legalism trying to combine works and grace and not RIGHTLY dividing the word of truth. (2 Timothy 2:15)
John Lawrence- How is that "gospel" you just preached any different from any other religion then? Constantly in and out of fellowship, constantly repenting of sins, constantly unsure if you've done enough or not. That's what the Jews had to do constantly sacrificing animals and giving offerings. Muslims have a similar works based religion. What you preach is in no way good news at all! And Paul himself said that if he was preaching that gospel he would not have ever been persecuted! Wake up dude!
John isn't asserting you must confess every sin in exhaustive detail in order to be saved, he's asserting we must confess our sins (when we know we've sinned) in order to have fellowship with God. You're knocking down a straw man. John includes himself in each exhortation, "we", "us".
Amen! I don't think Andrew has never properly understood the word "confess". It's ὁμολογέω (homologeō) in Greek, which simply means acknowledge, made up of two root words homo&logeo, same&speak, NOT a confession of a guilty criminal so he can get pardoned! We acknowledge the truth that we sin because that is walking in the light of God's truth, walking in fellowship with the Father. "Can two walk together, except they be agreed?" - Amos 3:3
The We and Us are editorial type of address as the letters were read in public...fellowship is never broken between God and believers, even when we fall!
@@twinklingofaneye Fellowship is marred when you fall, and must be mended through Christ. Repentance is a part of that mending. You can't live in sin and have fellowship with God unhindered. "We" and "Us" mean exactly what they mean for everyone who speaks English and is using an English translation of Scripture. The term includes the apostle writing the letter, regardless of what verbal acrobatics this guy in the video uses to get around what is obvious to all.
@@c.m.granger6870 in 1 JOHN 2, the writer now addresse his audience as "my little children", that was not the case in the previous chapter, and 1 John 2:12 now says "I am writing to you who are God's children because your sins have 'been forgiven' through Jesus. " have been forgiven" is in the past tense, clearly there are two different audience here.
@@twinklingofaneye That doesn't change the fact that the apostle includes himself in the "we" and "us". Confession of sin is part of the Christian life, this deceiver would leave believers with bludgeoned consciences and a marred relationship with God.
James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. It does not say, "confess your sins one to another".
There is a much easier explanation and one that conforms to the word of God. Study the scriptures dispensationally. 1 John is part of the Hebrew epistles written to Israel and is not talking to Gentiles living under Grace. Paul was the Apostle sent to the Gentiles after Israel fell and God gave a dispensation of Grace. Paul's message was a Mystery that was kept secret since the world began and John didn't preach this message. John was one of the 12 Apostles and he was sent to the circumcision - Jews not Gentiles. [Eph 3:2 KJV] If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me (Paul) to you-ward: [Col 1:25 KJV] Whereof I (Paul) am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; [Rom 16:25 KJV] Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my (Paul) gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret (from the 12 Apostles as well) since the world began, [Gal 2:7-10 KJV] But contrariwise, when they (the circumcision/Jews) saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as [the gospel] of the circumcision [was] unto Peter; (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:) And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we (Paul & Barnabus) [should go] unto the heathen, and they(Peter, James and John) unto the circumcision. Only [they would] that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.
What does the scripture say? Titus 2:13 Looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great GOD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. Also Philippians 2:5-8 Who being in the form of God,did not consider it robbery to be equal with God....
@@richardumstead36 being in the forme of God would make it impossible to be God God and Saviour Jesus makes 2 not one God and Jesus. Jesus is the Son of God. The Messiah
The Bible does tell us that Jesus is God, many times over; you just don't have the eyes to see or the ears to hear the voice of truth and the truth is not in you. Repent, confess Jesus as Lord and Savior and let the Holy Spirit lead you into all truth.
"That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full." 1 John 1:1-4 " ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father" Would John invite Gnostics to fellowship with the Father....you nut? This is an epistles to believers. The message to pagans would a message of repentance...."And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem." Luke 24:47 Not so fast viper!!
In this video, this brother addresses a verse which does not fit into his understanding of the New Testament. The author John does not mention Gnostics once. The whole letter repeatedly confirms the letter is to believers thus this letter is not about evangelism. The sermon is sincere. What is the truth is the pastor theology does not fit this verse. The verse is true.
Yes. Bob George was a dearly beloved pastor and one of the early pioneers preaching the true freedom that we now have in Christ". I used to listen to his radio show "People to people " back in the day as much as I could" . That is when he had Bob Christopher now the lead pastor at "Basic Gospel" and Bob Davis the announcer who is also with "Basic Gospel" working with him". His milestone book "Classic Christianity" was a turning point for me and help guide me away from a legalistic bondage type religion and set me free into the rest and peace that Jesus provided for me all along". One of his answers to a question that a caller asked him on his radio show that I will always remember with a smile was "Will smoking cigarettes cause me to lose my salvation and go to hell"? Bob's answer was "Smoking cigarettes will not cause you to go to hell but, they will sure make you smell like you have been there"!. I still laugh whenever I remember that one. Bob was always a target of modern day Judaizers and Pharisees who did not understand the freedom in Christ that he was preaching and were always out to get him in some way or another and tried to have his radio spots removed from radio stations and what not but he always stayed on the air and fought back at these foes with his preaching of the truth". He passed away a few years back and hearing the news I was saddened but also very happy knowing that he fought the good fight and preached the truth to millions and was now receiving his reward from God for a job well done"😊
1John 1:9 is talking to Christians. Look at the pronouns that he uses "we, us, our". When you use the word "we" in a sentence you are including yourself and those that are in your circle. If John was talking to sinners he would say. "If THEY confess THEIR sins. He is faithful and just to forgive THEM THEIR sins and to cleanse THEM from all unrighteousness". John would have never included himself. John was the oldest christian living at that time and if a christian did not have to confess their sins don't you think John would have known that. In verse 7 John is telling them to walk in the light. YOU CANNOT TELL SINNERS TO WALK IN THE LIGHT ....THEY CAN'T....THEY HAVE TO BE CONVERTED FIRST. ONLY CHRISTIANS CAN WALK IN THE LIGHT. PLEASE.....TELL THE PEOPLE THE TRUTH. AND DON'T TRY TO CHANGE ( 1JOHN1:9) BECAUSE IT CONTRIDICTS YOUR HYPER-GRACE TEACHINGS.
John used not only "we" but us" as in If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins... John used we and us in 1 John 1:8,9 & 10 along with we and us in 1 John 1:5 & 6.
This guy seems to have been commissioned to revise the Gospel and give it his spin so everything it says now means something different from what God is telling us!
HE DID take away ALL those sins that i had committed for 38 years!!!! now i confess daily(but not to a priest) to the HIGH PRIEST(Jesus) to cleanse myself that i dont return to the slop-->[2Pe 2:22 KJV] 22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog [is] turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

The Lord tells us that HE used to give direct revelation thru prophets, but now ONLY speaks thru HIS SON(Jesus(The Word(The bible)))-->1¶God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

The message of the gospel, the Word, was/is eternal. Jesus was born as a creation on earth. (Earth is Not a planet.) Jesus increased in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man. Luke 2:52
Acts 26: 20 "that they should repent and turn to God, performing works in keeping with their repentance." We need to maintain a lifestyle of repentance, if we start neglecting our salvation and begin acquiescing to sin then we are in dangerous territory. These verses are warning against living in blatant unrepentant sin, just because we accepted the Lord doesn't mean that we can go live our lives however we chose, we must continue in a relationship of turning away from sin. Hebrews 10: 14 "for by one offering he perfected forever those who are being sanctified." Sanctification is a process that we need to continue in, 1 Thessalonians 4: 7-8 "God has not called us for the purpose of impurity, but in sanctification. So he who rejects this is not rejecting man but God who gives his holy spirit to you." Sanctification is a on going process and to reject it is to reject God. Once saved always saved is false doctrine.

@@48lilyofthevalley A gnostic is more likely to be a narcissist than any other as they believe they can become Gods through knowledge which is what a narcissist thinks of himself among men as they place themselves above others, that was my point on how gnosticism and narcissistic can relate but not be the exact same thing.

I can't even begin to comment on this one. In this sermon I have learned more about my salvation than I ever have in all the study and discussion I've had my whole life. My words do it no justice. Thank you for revealing to me the full extent of what Jesus has done for me. You said it so simply and plainly that I could finally understand what the real deal is. God Bless you my brother. When I'm ready, I will be attending your worship services. This subject of sin and confession has vexed me my entire life and you have shown me that I have been in a saved condition the entire time since I confessed that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God and that He is my Lord and Saviour even though I am a continual sinner. All this time I've been led to believe that I am in and out of a saved condition but you have finally explained to me how that way of thinking is not correct. Thank you for freeing me from my ignorance brother.
So many religious nuts on these groups trying to keep all the old testament laws in the FLESH!!!!!! (Galatians 3 King James Version (KJV)
3 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?
2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?) You are in pride self righteousness error the FLESH ,you are worshiping another Jesus ,gospel with another spirit , placing yourself back under the curse of the law , (4 Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.
5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.) 2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.2 Corint 11 ) Romans 8 King James Version (KJV)
8 (There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:)REPENT GET BORN AGAIN GET OUT OF THAT RELIGIOUS CULT SEEK THE REAL JESUS !!!!!!!
How is it that virtually 99% of all pastors, commentators, and scholars I've listened to, watched, and read, misinterpret 1st John (and especially 1st John 1:9), yet this guy very clearly, correctly, and succinctly, exposited 1st John 1?
Praise God, someone got it right!
Thank you pastor Andrew.
I have always been confused about this verse in 1john 1:9, glory be to God for this revelation.
sir, you dont know how much this helps me
Wow Andrew! Praise God! This is so exciting for me as I received a revelation some 10+ years ago about this very thing, and without understanding it as you have so beautifully and clearly put it, God told me, that this verse was a once and for all confession, as the work in the cross was complete, and He said to me; "it is done" Amen! It's so exciting to have revelation and then to have it explained! God bless you and yours! Thank you for your teachings and for unpacking the gospel without religion! ❤
@@2Chronicles714_ Hi, what about 1 John 2:1-2 "My dear children, I write this to you so that you WILL NOT SIN. But IF (not when) anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father-Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. 2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world."
@@2Chronicles714_ but Joe, you are then discounting the Word of God that says ALL our sins have been forgiven? We have been conveyed from darkness into THE SON OF His love Col.1:13, which means we are no longer in our "own" timeline, which has a beginning and end, but rather we have been conveyed, transferred, if you will, into the kingdom of the Son of His love, so we are now found in Christ Jesus' timeline; "the old has gone the new has come" 2 Corn. 5:17 ... I am not saying that we should not confess if we sin, but we are told that we SHOULD NOT sin anymore, the one is the willful, choice to disobey God and His statutes, while the other is more walking in the flesh. Now the sins we committed have ALL been forgiven, while the walking after the flesh is still being worked out, this is the working out of our salvation in fear and trembling bit; Phil.2:12 this is the sanctification that takes place while we are found perfect in His sight, Heb.10:14 ... So when we walk after the flesh, we run to Abba and thank Him for the forgiveness Christ paid for, we do not have to ask for it again, it has already been given.
I really want to discuss this with you more, but i would like to do so via WhatsApp if you are cool with that?
Sorry, i called you Joe...John
i’ve have been researching this subject out. What about our fellowship being broken? I see the man that had his father’s wife was called an evil person, even though his spirit was born again, and he was saved.
He was expelled and came to repentance found in second Corinthians chapter 2. Godly sorrow produces repentance.
God said I am light and in me is no darkness at all. Walk in the light as I am in light and we have fellowship. You you love me you obey my commands he said.
When we are in the flesh is our fellowship broken?
@@FreshStart83 Bless you!
The truth is that we should not be sinning! We are instructed about this throughout the bible: Jesus told the woman caught in adultery; "your sins are forgiven, go and sin no more." John in 1 John 2:1 says very clearly that he "tells us these things so that we will not sin" and then goes on to say; "but IF (not when) you sin, we have an advocate with the Father." Paul tells the church in Corinth; "Awake to righteousness, and do not sin." And to the church in Colossae, that they are "to put to death your members which are on earth: fornication, uncleanliness, passion, evil desire and covetousness, which is idolatry..." all sin, and it goes on. Peter said in 1 Peter that "Christ suffered for us, leaving us AN EXAMPLE, that you should follow His steps: 'who committed no sin, nor was deceit found in His mouth.' " In 1 John 3:3 "And everyone who has this hope in Him PURIFIES himself, just as He is pure.: And probably the most "in your face" scripture regarding us not sinning is 1 John 3:6-7 "Whoever abides in Him DOES NOT SIN. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him. Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous." And a scripture that is often misinterpreted, being Romans 6:15 "What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means!" You see, grace is supernatural strength NOT TO SIN :-) Now of course, one needs to understand what "sin" is, because we did all once sin and fall short of the glory of God, because we were all born into the likeness of Adam Gen.5:1-5 so we were all born into the fallen nature of man, that is why we all need to be born ag:ain! And once we accept Christ as LORD and not only Saviour, and we surrender EVERYTHING, that is all we are, and all we will be, and everything we have and will have and truly live FROM Him, not FOR Him, but FROM Him (Gal.2:20) realising the we, our flesh, our own desires etc. have been crucified and are dead, so we live FROM Him for the world, to share Jesus and give hope to the hopeless, then we do not sin. Sin is the conscious, deliberate, intentional decision to go against the will of God! If the Word says not to steal and you choose to steal, then you are sinning. If you are having sex outside of marriage, knowing that this is against God's will, then you are sinning! Get it? :-)
Now, IF we sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus the Christ who intervenes and reminds the Father that He shed His blood for our forgiveness, and for that we are forever grateful! And when you are made aware that you have sinned, you will automatically come to the Father and say you are sorry for hurting Him and saddening Him because of your sin, but you see, the verse Andrew is referring to, is not speaking of this. That verse is speaking of us in the world, before coming to Christ, thinking that we are "good" or "kind" or that "i have never killed anyone, stolen from anyone or used God's name in vain" cos NONE of those things will give us eternal life, cos whether we had or had not done those things, we had been born in the likeness and image of sinful man, in the likeness of Adam after the fall, so our spirits were cut off from God and dead, so NOTHING you did in your soul or body was going to bring life to you! That is something ONLY Jesus the Christ is able to do! Luke 19:10 "Jesus came to seek and to save THAT which was lost." What is the "THAT"? It is the spirit, the relationship with Father God, the perfection of Eden before the fall! Without accepting that we NEED Him, and we accept His forgiveness that was paid for at the cross, we will NEVER have the "THAT" for which He died victoriously!
I have put so much into this reply ... i pray Holy Spirit helps you to see the truth and that the seed will fall into fertile soil and that it grow into a mighty oak that will make shade and shelter for many, and that it produces MUCH good fruit!

This guy is humble and sincere. My (and the church for 1500 years before the Reformation) view is that this is still a modern, itching ear, novel teaching. The finished (provided) work needs to be abided in (applied) and enjoyed. One can apostasise. The Scripture is clear. We have been cleansed of our past sins. We are not to abandon the One Who alone has the words of eternal life.
Glory.
Thank the Lord for his revelation of Jesus he has given you. That cleared up so much for me. Thank you for the simplicity of the gospel...
In Christ we are completely FORGIVEN❤❤❤
Excellent addressing of the doublespeak that many Christians practice on the concept of forgiveness. Thanks, Andrew!
Good so far! Amazing Pastor
This just brought so much clarity...
Some people here (below) seem to find it SO HARD to accept that Jesus' sacrifice on the cross was COMPLETE for us, and like He said there, "IT IS FINISHED!" A "human condition", I'm afraid, that makes SUCH an amazing an incomparable work of GRACE, so HARD to fathom that there MUST be something WE have to DO for it!! But Nope! All we need to do is accept it!! Praise God!
Thank you for this wonderful explanation!
I once had a dream where I was in the blackest of darkness as a lost person. God had told me I was there in proxy for the unsaved to spur me on in sharing the gospel.
Later I told my pastor the dream and he condemned me by saying that it was me in the darkness and that I had to repent and ask for forgiveness.
He is no longer pastor of that church.
As I read this verse way back in around 1986 I seen this but still confessed my sin, well what I thought was sin if you get my meaning. I came across you a few weeks ago and God spoke to me through your opening this verse up and now I live it. No more confessing. I'm forgiven completly. I know it's nothing to do with feelings but I can't help feeling different in my mind. Praise God.
If people got rid of the TV, did not read newspapers and then looked around themselves experientially the virus and the fear would be gone.
We tend to forget that people die all the time of viruses, bacterial infections, disease, old age. Yet when you are reminded of this every minute, every hour of every day and the blame goes on a virus rather than the co morbidities that were largely the contributing factors to the deaths then people believe through induced fear. This fear is then used to control and to get people to give up their freedom, liberty and autonomy.
For those that are unable to see this truth yet, please bare the following in mind: the only barrier to truth is the presumption that you already have it.
There is so much riding on this that you owe it to yourself and your children or grandchildren to open your eyes, listen to all sides, but do not blindly trust.
God bless you all
Please wake up
Truth! I have been in agreement of this truth for years and have been called so many things. Thank you for speaking on this a foundational truth, and the double talk the church has been teaching for ever.
Originally heard this from Bob George.
God bless
I was sweeping the floor at a special needs clients house when the Lord shouted through my whole being ,
I HAVE FORGIVEN YOU OF ALL YOUR SINS !!!!
I dropped the broom and ran around the house rejoicing ,
Ronnie just watched me in bewilderment and then went back to watching TV LOL !!
The habit Of confessing all my sins was hard to break !
But when I thought of a daily sacrifice being made for every sin
I though even the Hebrews had it easier sacrificing a lamb once a year for their sins!
Jesus was sacrificed once for all
I apologize to God for messing up but I don't ask him to forgive me anymore! I say thankyou you have already forgiven me!
I realized that I was confusing his grace causing me to feel clean
with a mental assent of a physical act of confessing and asking for forgiveness like a Catholic ! Sorry Catholics but that's what it is!
To confess sins is to confess Christ. He has become sin for us, he has taken our sins into his body and we are God's righteousness in him.

To confess Christ is to confess salvation and righteousness (see Romans 10:10) Instead of practicing sin and guilt consciousness (see Hebrews 10:22), practice righteousness consciousness by confessing (homologia, "say the same as") what God's Word says about you..."I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. (see 2 Corinthians 5:21).
All Glory to You Lord Jesus and thank You for unveiling this verse thru' this brother; thank you brother, Lord Jesus loves and blesses you hallelujah - Emmanuel, amen!
The gospel is that justification is by faith alone-the righteousness of faith. 1Jn. 1:9 negates this. By Christ’s once and forever effective sacrifice, believers are cleansed of all sins, not just judicially but totally /completely. There’s no such thing as parental forgiveness and God will not withhold fellowship from his beloved children unless or until they confess their sins and beg forgiveness. It’s normal to confess in the sense of saying you’re sorry but you don’t confess to be forgiven or to be cleansed because you have already been forgiven and cleansed. To believe and act otherwise is an insult to what Christ has done.
Thanks. Clearance of the air
Very well stated, thank you so much for your clear study of this verse.
Forgiveness is NOT conditional on you With your mouth confessing your sin. What if you forget one of your sins? Are you lost? Do you lose your salvation? NO! It is finished! Done! Ch 1 warning to gnostics in the body, but look at 1 John 2:12.....to Beleivers on the finished work of the cross. "I am writing to you, dear children, because your sins have been forgiven on account of his name."
I don't remember ever hearing that the washing of the feet was about confession. I always heard that it is about serving.
Praise be to God .
So refreshing and freeing. Thank you
Beautifully said Pastor Andrew.
It is no longer I who do it but sin that lives in me Rom 7.17,20 I am dead to sin and to the law new identity.
Walk is condition not position. Though we are children of light we are told to walk as we are. In other words a child of light can walk in darkness or out of fellowship. This is not works based justification, this is faith based sanctification. Romans 6-8 bro.
We Christians don't need nor desire to apologize for telling the truth! It needs to be told and heard, weather people receive it or not! Let those ignorant remain ignorant!
Excellent!
Amen.I love the book of Hebrews because it was written to the ones that were under the law (Jews) and [Hebrews 1:3] [Hebrews 10:10-12] & [Hebrews 10:2] Makes [1 John 1:9] a completely Disannulling for the believer to the Jew and the Gentile.

Praise and glory to u Lord Jesus!
The pastor states that 1 john 9 is a standalone and no other verse gives a instructions on what to do with after conversion sin.
This verse matthew 6:14 does:
14 For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, 15 but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
This verse immediately follows the Lord's Prayer where Jesus tells us believers to ask for forgiveness.
This is before the cross and was under law
So good. Thank you Jesus!!
I wish I could see how you got your analogy on this. I don’t see it🙁
We cannot just be sin admitters and be content or happy with it (Rom.6:1-6) - and this can change a person's position - to abide in Christ - to practice righteousness - to hold fast - continue in the faith Col.1:23 - grounded and steadfast (not moved away from the hope) - or some Christian are content with a sinful life - as if we are still sitting without victory not to sin - In Christ we are free - but that means we reign over sin and abide in Christ - if not we are deceiving ourselves if we think that sin hold us further in slavery
Thanks for your proper CONTEXT!
Thank you brother Truth has power
Instead of assuming 1 John 1 is written to counter Gnostic error, it is better to see it is as evangelistic and aimed at unbelieving Jews in particular. Galatians 2 shows the 11 Apostles were to carry on their ministry to the Jews, while Paul and Barnabas reached out to the Gentiles with the Gospel. (Gal. 2:9: and when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that had been given to me, they gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.)
After all, who really thought they had no sin other than the unsaved religious Jewish leaders? As the natural offspring of Abraham, they believed they had the inside track with God. So a careful reading of 1 John sans commentaries and assumptions re Gnostic opposition, will give us the only understanding consistent with all the scriptures.
The difficult problem of the "we" in 1 John 1:9 is then easily seen as "we Jews", a common way of the Apostles appealing across national and blood ties to allow their Gospel to be heard.
With this understanding, 1 John 1:9 is taken from it's unnatural setting as a way of maintaining fellowship with Christ and seen in it's true position of offering a once and for all repentance of sin and an accepting of salvation in Christ.
The foot washing of John 13, alluded to by the speaker in this video, is the true way of maintaining fellowship with Christ and is far more than an example of humility, though it is that as well.
To only see humility in this familiar scene is to miss the absolute imperative Christ puts here on His own teaching. Sometimes I wonder if anyone has actually heard what Christ said to Peter in this crucial teaching!!!
Listen to what Christ ACTUALLY SAYS: 7 Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will know after this.”8 Peter said to Him, “You shall never wash my feet!”Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me.”9 Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!”10 Jesus said to him, “He who is bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you.” 11 For He knew who would betray Him; therefore He said, “You are not all clean.”
COMMENT: Notice Christ called Peter and the others (save Judas) "clean"...yet He still insists of washing their dirty feet!!! In fact, it's mandatory or there will be no fellowship with Him (no part in Me).
The believer is forever clean because he is a brand new person in Christ, and like Him, sinless before God. His old self was crucified with Christ and is forever separated from God's presence and consideration. Christ is the resurrection and the life and we believers have been resurrected with Him to have a living relationship as intimate spiritually as the best earthly marriages dimly mirror.
So WHY is Christ eager to wash our feet? We have no "dirt" in our new selves, but we walk in a dirty world. Just as those walking home from a public bath could not help but get their feet dirty, so we cannot shield our hearts and minds from the filth of this world. Seriously, we don't even have to try, it is unavoidable. And many are the solutions extended...yet none of them can compare with Christ washing our minds and hearts with the Word of God so we can stay renewed in the love relationship with Him He died to make possible.
This letter may have been written to christians who were being tempted to adopt gnostic doctrine; in order to prevent christians from being trapped by this kind of doctrine; to show the believers of such doctrine that they were wrong, therefore, in great danger.
These Hypergrace Illuminati Jesuit dispendsationalists are lying through their teeth. This is mass social engineering at work. They want to reinvent the entire Protestant landscape....the last phase of counter reformation before the introduce the Lawless One. 1 John 1:9 was addressed to believers.
DON't believe this viper! He does not even believe in commandment of Jesus. He is a fake. An implant.
Please show us where in any of Pauls Epistles where a born again believer has to ask God or Christ for Our sins to be forgiven. Forgiveness doesnt come in Installments son. Nice try though.
Romans 3:24-25 Speaks of God passing by of sin before the cross in that he saved believing Old Testament sinners without having their sins paid for. They were granted righteousness as well which he speaks of in Romans 4 . That translation you are quoting is erroneous to say the least. Jesus Christ sacrifice covered all sin back to Adam and forward to eternity. To suggest that Christ sacrifice only covered our sins up to salvation then we have to invoke 1 John 1:9 to get forgiven again is a mockery of his sacrifice , or as the Hebrews writer put it in chapter ten"Trampling under foot the son of God and Insulting the Spirit of Grace. Moreover one sacrifice was all that was needed to take away all sin past present and future: but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at the right hand of God, 13 waiting from that time onward until His enemies be made a footstool for His feet. 14 For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified. 15 And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us; for after saying,
16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them
After those days, says the Lord:
I will put My laws upon their heart,
And on their mind I will write them,”
He then says,
17 “And their sins and their lawless deeds
I will remember no more.”
18 Now where there is forgiveness of these things, there is no longer any offering for sin.
"Our past sins were forgiven when we repented, and our present and future sins will be forgiven upon repentance.See 1 Jn 1: 7--10. 1 Jn 2: 1--2. This has to be the worst theology i have ever heard. Explain to me why Paul NEVER told his converts that they had to seek forgiveness after salvation? Where did he tell a born again believer they had to confess there sins to be forgiven again? Paul told the Ephesians in 1:7 they have forgiveness of sin according to the riches of His grace.Johns epistle is NOT a doctrinal boook but Pauls epistles are. If what you believe is true that we have to confess and repent of future sins to be forgiven again then alot of believers were lost between AD 58 when Paul wrote Romans and AD 90 when john wrote his epistle. Paul never once told them they had to confess or repent to be forgiven again. Under your premise that we lose forgiveness by sin and need to confess to get re-forgiven then life under the old covenant was better. At least there sins were forgiven for the next year and day of atonement. If Jesus Christ ONE sacrifice for sin only covered our past before conversion then he must come back down from heaven to provide another sacrifice because without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin! Hebrews 9:22. FYI, John 2:12 says I am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven you for His name’s sake.FORGIVEN here is in the PERFECT TENSE. an action in the past with results that go on forever
The tense in 1 Jn 2: 12, Uses all the tenses, Tense: Perfect:
Mood: Indicative: An assertion of a fact
Voice: Passive: Subject receiving the action
Every Translation uses the Perfect tense. Andrew is a linguistics Proffessor FWIW
No matter, you have yet to offer evidence anywhere that a born again believer has to confess his sins to be forgiven AGAIN. If this were possible another blood sacrifice would be required and Christ already did it once. 2) Andrew in this teaching skillfully and properly employed the proper hermenutics and exegesis while you did nothing but bash with the same legalistic drivel.
3) Jesus Christ ONE sacrifice took away all sin past present and future. The notion that false teachers like you that suggest God forgives your past sins ONLY (Gives you a Clean record and its up to you to keep it clean by ones abilty to recall your every sin and confess them is putting the blood of Jesus on the same plane as a bull and a goat. Anyone with common sense realizes that Christ took away our sins 2000 years ago and those sins he took away were the sins we had yet to commit (Future). Please show me where Christ only took away SINS up to the point of our conversion?
Your whole theology or position rests on one verse (1 John 1:9) which is always a bad position to take. Any Hermenutics proffessor will tell you that you dont build a theology on small sample sizes. There is no other verse in the New Covenant where we a BELIEVER has to CONFESS to Be FORGIVEN AGAIN. Why didnt Paul tell his churches and converts this ? Because he told them they are Forgiven and there sin debt has been cancelled Colossians 2:13-14).
13 When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us ALL our transgressions, 14 having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.
From Gods vantage point you are dead to sin since you DIED :
Colossians 3:3 For you have died (Aorist or point in time at conversion) and your life is hidden ( with Christ in God: Tense: Perfect). 4 When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.
God no longer COUNTS OUR SINS:
2 Corinthians 5:19 namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, NOT COUNTING their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
REMEMBERS THEM NO MORE:
Hebrews 10:16-18:
“And their sins and their lawless deeds
I will remember no more.”
18 Now where there is forgiveness of these things, there is no longer any offering for sin.
To suggest that this is false teaching only proves how ignorant you are of what Christ did on the cross.
If you are going to call Grace teachers false then Paul was false as well. He had legalizers like you following him around trying to to pull his converts back in to bondage as well. This is why he wrote his epistle to the Galatians.
Andrew Farley is teaching the same Grace message Paul did and that bothers you because you are not capable of proving him wrong except the typical legalistic MO of pulling out scriptures out of context.
Andrew, this is the most freeing message I have ever heard. I just want everyone to hear this Truth. I have always been so confused about 1 John 1:9 because all the Christian churches i have been we must confess our sins whenever we sin. When I hear this from sermons at church then I was mixed up and confused about all the other verses around it. And 1 John 2:9 "He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now" and so I had to confess that to God every time I had a feeling of dislike of someone. But now i see. Thank you so much for teaching me the Truth. Does that mean my mind is being renewed when I learned the truth about 1 John 1:9?
Based on what i read this is not talking to Christians as our sins were forgiven past present and future when we trust in Christs death Burial and resurrection for salvation. I suspect this is being said in a context where the dispensation of Grace is not active so either before Paul was given his Gospel or when the body of believers are raptured from earth.
Would gnosticism be the same as narcissism in our time?
Glenda Carter, gnosticism today is repackaged in the new age movement. Thanks and blessings.
ah.. No. You are reading the dispensation of grace into John's letter written to the circumcision. Paul (our pattern) says in Galatians 2:9 "And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision". 1 John was to 'the little flock' and will be to 'the Jewish remnant' who must 'persevere to the end' during the 70th week of Daniel. God bless you, as you seek the depth and riches of his Word - Rightly Divided.
Need some help? Do a TH-cam search on "John Wasn't Talking To You" by Grace Ambassadors.
GOOD JOB PREACHER ! You are rightly dividing the word!
Very good, Andrew
So if were born into sin and jesus died for our sins doesnt that mean we should fight the sins we are tempted with in this world and forgive ourselves and learn from them..without sin we wouldnt know love (god)
Nowhere in Scripture does it say we need to forgive ourselves
Christianity was 50 to 60 years old.,when john wrote this letter.This letter might have addressed to Christians too!
How about Matthew 6.12-15? Were these verses for unbelievers?
+Edison Yammine Epesians 4:31-32 " Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. 32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.Hey Edison, Mathew 6:12-15 is before the cross, Jesus was trying to show you that it was impossible to live by the law. When Jesus died for us on the cross the New Testemant really starts, remember when he he gave up his Spirit he said it is finished.Now look at Epeshians 4:32; 32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ FORGAVE you."Notice when Paul writes us to forgive one another as God in Christ FORGAVE you, as you can see he already forgave you before you have forgiven anyone that has done wrong to you.
"Mathew 6:12-15 is before the cross" who taught you these words? the dispensationalist heretic Darby? The charlatan Scofield? Don't tell me. You don't even know where this come from. I denounce that statement a blatant lie against the gospel of Jesus Christ!
"Jesus was trying to show you that it was impossible to live by the law."????? Then why did He teach the Shema???
"Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these" Mark 12 :29-31
According to you, the words of Jesus Christ before the cross are not valid or useful, that is, according to what you said above, Jesus Christ is not the same yesterday, today and forever... He is one before the cross and another after the cross... well... strange...
whileMenslept 当人睡着时 According to you, the words of Jesus Christ before the cross are not valid or useful, that is, according to what you said above, Jesus Christ is not the same yesterday, today and forever... He is one before the cross and another after the cross... well... strange...

AMEN AND AMEN, I thank CHRIST JESUS for HIS BLOOD SACRIFICE on the CROSS AT CALVARY- 1 Corinthians 15:1-4-KJV-DEATH, BURIAL, RESURRECTION.

I am so thankful that CHRIST JESUS paid for ALL my sins and KNOWING that ALL my sins are covered by the PRECIOUS BLOOD of JESUS CHRIST and whatever sin I happen to commit today or tomorrow, I KNOW FOR A FACT that those sins are FORGIVEN and COVERED by the BLOOD of JESUS CHRIST. We are all sinners and we will still sin even when SAVED as long as we are in the flesh- not deliberately because there are consequences-GOD WILL CHASTEN US-Hebrews 12:6-7-KJV. But WE as BELIEVERS can REST ASSURED KNOWING what JESUS CHRIST has done for us on the CROSS AT CALVARY. JESUS CHRIST PAID THE SIN DEBT IN FULL.
thx for this video i knew i was forgiven but this verse really confused me
I was taught you lose fellowship if you don’t ask forgiveness
Most of us would agree that he's talking to Born Again Christians. The theme of John epistle is eternal life and eternal death, God is light and God is love. In the first chapter he talks about walking in the light of God who is absolutely perfect and no darkness is in Him at all.
In 1st John 1:8 it clearly says, "If we say that we have no sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us."
This is when we sin in one form or another and the Holy Spirit is convicting us of this sin. We know the words of the Lord Jesus when he said, "He (The Holy Spirit) will convict the world of sin because they believe not on me." The only sin that the Holy Spirit is convicting the world of is them not believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, as God In the Flesh, the only Savior of the world. He is not convicting the born-again Christian of this sin. However, if I lie to my brother, the Holy Spirit is going to convict me. My own human spirit is going to condemn this action as well if I'm truly Born Again and in fellowship with God. What this gentleman is failing to understand is that the wages of sin is still death, even for the Christian!
Spiritual death automatically manifest in our spirits whenever we sin; Whether we like to believe that or not is irrelevant. The wages of sin is death! The wages of sin was death for Adam and Eve and they had never sinned before.
The Holy Spirit Will convict us to confess this sin.
"IF we confess the sin, (then) he will not only forgive us our sin but also cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
The fact that we are legally the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus does not take away the fact that we have sinned and experienced spiritual death and broken fellowship with the God of Light.
1st John 1:9 goes on to say, "but if we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and HIS Word is not in us."
Just because we are seated in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus does not mean that when we sin, our legal standing cleanses us from our sins.
These scripture makes absolutely no sense unless they are twisted beyond recognition like this man has done to try to make it say something that it does not say at all.....
It is talking about walking in the light of a holy God and that when we sin we need to confess these sins in order to obtain forgiveness and cleansing through the blood of Jesus Christ; after which we can resume fellowshipping with God and our Brothers and Sisters in Christ who are walking in the light as he is in the light.
This is real folks!
Remember the Lord Jesus Christ said, "if we will not forgive others our trespasses, we will not be forgiven."
Does that mean what it says or not?
In the very same way, if we do not confess our sins when we do sin, we will not be forgiven or cleansed and have Fellowship restored with Father God.
Furthermore we're telling the Holy Spirit that's convicting of us this sin that He is in fact a liar for convicting us of this sin"
These erroneous Winds of Doctrine are popping up everywhere and we need to get things straight in our hearts if we are going to really move ahead with God in this last hour before Christ return.
Satan is attacking every fundamental Doctrine in an attempt to bring confusion to the body of Christ and lead off into the ditch of error.
"that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head-Christ-"@Ephesians 4:14-15 NKJV
I sincerely hope this helps someone.

Actually no, it doesn't help, and you didnt listen to the message at all. Be honest...you didnt. I dont know where to start. John, Andrew Farley is a pure grace teacher, and you teach legalism. You said : " Remember the Lord Jesus Christ said, "if we will not forgive others our trespasses, we will not be forgiven." Does that mean what it says or not ? " That verse was not speaking to you, if you are a born again believer, living under the NEW covenant. Jesus was speaking to JEWS - He came to the lost sheep of the house of Israel who had been burdened for centuries under the LAW. They had no spiritual currency because they were spiritually bankrupt. Under the LAW, it was incumbent to forgive in order to be forgiven. You also had to love the lord with all your heart soul and mind. And give away all your wealth to the poor. And carry your cross. And surrender your all. While your at it, pluck out your eye and chop off your right hand. Do you see what Jesus was doing ? He was elevating the Law in the eyes of the people to show them that no one could do it or would be willing to do it. Im going to stop there. Please listen to the message.
Robert Lassche thank you for correcting that false information he posted. It hurts to see so many still lost under legalism trying to combine works and grace and not RIGHTLY dividing the word of truth. (2 Timothy 2:15)
John Lawrence- How is that "gospel" you just preached any different from any other religion then? Constantly in and out of fellowship, constantly repenting of sins, constantly unsure if you've done enough or not. That's what the Jews had to do constantly sacrificing animals and giving offerings. Muslims have a similar works based religion. What you preach is in no way good news at all! And Paul himself said that if he was preaching that gospel he would not have ever been persecuted! Wake up dude!
What about Hebrews 1:3 and revelation 1:5 the two important verbs in these passages of scripture are washed and purged
John isn't asserting you must confess every sin in exhaustive detail in order to be saved, he's asserting we must confess our sins (when we know we've sinned) in order to have fellowship with God. You're knocking down a straw man. John includes himself in each exhortation, "we", "us".
Amen! I don't think Andrew has never properly understood the word "confess". It's ὁμολογέω (homologeō) in Greek, which simply means acknowledge, made up of two root words homo&logeo, same&speak, NOT a confession of a guilty criminal so he can get pardoned! We acknowledge the truth that we sin because that is walking in the light of God's truth, walking in fellowship with the Father.
"Can two walk together, except they be agreed?" - Amos 3:3
The We and Us are editorial type of address as the letters were read in public...fellowship is never broken between God and believers, even when we fall!
@@twinklingofaneye Fellowship is marred when you fall, and must be mended through Christ. Repentance is a part of that mending. You can't live in sin and have fellowship with God unhindered. "We" and "Us" mean exactly what they mean for everyone who speaks English and is using an English translation of Scripture. The term includes the apostle writing the letter, regardless of what verbal acrobatics this guy in the video uses to get around what is obvious to all.
@@c.m.granger6870 in 1 JOHN 2, the writer now addresse his audience as "my little children", that was not the case in the previous chapter, and 1 John 2:12 now says "I am writing to you who are God's children because your sins have 'been forgiven' through Jesus. " have been forgiven" is in the past tense, clearly there are two different audience here.
@@twinklingofaneye That doesn't change the fact that the apostle includes himself in the "we" and "us". Confession of sin is part of the Christian life, this deceiver would leave believers with bludgeoned consciences and a marred relationship with God.
James 5:16
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
It does not say, "confess your sins one to another".
Faults,sins,stealing,murder, all forgiven at the cross!
The concept in this verse was beautifully illustrated by the Colonel as the Rebound technique.
Amen!
It’s no wonder Christians are on the fence and not living out their identity in Christ! Thank you,pastor!
Great Christian apologetics message to understand where false doctrine of confession comes from!
Thank you brother Rufus. The legalist law teachers will be angry at the truth you shared.God bless and keep on saying the TRUTH. Amen so be it!
Well, it came from Jesus....so I guess you have a conflict with Him you must resolve.
There is a much easier explanation and one that conforms to the word of God. Study the scriptures dispensationally. 1 John is part of the Hebrew epistles written to Israel and is not talking to Gentiles living under Grace. Paul was the Apostle sent to the Gentiles after Israel fell and God gave a dispensation of Grace. Paul's message was a Mystery that was kept secret since the world began and John didn't preach this message. John was one of the 12 Apostles and he was sent to the circumcision - Jews not Gentiles.
[Eph 3:2 KJV] If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me (Paul) to you-ward:
[Col 1:25 KJV] Whereof I (Paul) am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
[Rom 16:25 KJV] Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my (Paul) gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret (from the 12 Apostles as well) since the world began,
[Gal 2:7-10 KJV] But contrariwise, when they (the circumcision/Jews) saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as [the gospel] of the circumcision [was] unto Peter; (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:) And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we (Paul & Barnabus) [should go] unto the heathen, and they(Peter, James and John) unto the circumcision. Only [they would] that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.
YEP !!!!!!!!
Nope!!
Wow, what did we ever do without you all this time. To think, all the men of God in history had this verse wrong. Good to know there are new truths
The Bible does not say Jesus is God and came from heaven. Actually it says he is not equal with God. Jesus said God is greater
What does the scripture say?
Titus 2:13 Looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great GOD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.
Also Philippians 2:5-8 Who being in the form of God,did not consider it robbery to be equal with God....
@@richardumstead36 being in the forme of God would make it impossible to be God God and Saviour Jesus makes 2 not one God and Jesus. Jesus is the Son of God. The Messiah
The Bible does tell us that Jesus is God, many times over; you just don't have the eyes to see or the ears to hear the voice of truth and the truth is not in you. Repent, confess Jesus as Lord and Savior and let the Holy Spirit lead you into all truth.
1 Timothy 3:16 literally says God(theos in greek) came in the flesh.
You do realize that they only way into the kingdom is through Jesus,, don’t you.. what else matters
"That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full." 1 John 1:1-4
" ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father" Would John invite Gnostics to fellowship with the Father....you nut? This is an epistles to believers.
The message to pagans would a message of repentance...."And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem." Luke 24:47 Not so fast viper!!
Correct, this verse is about fellowship
In this video, this brother addresses a verse which does not fit into his understanding of the New Testament. The author John does not mention Gnostics once. The whole letter repeatedly confirms the letter is to believers thus this letter is not about evangelism. The sermon is sincere.
What is the truth is the pastor theology does not fit this verse. The verse is true.
Hallelujah!!!!
Amen!! Great resource for this subject and the New Covenant is Bob George look him up and his ministry it awesome!
Yes. Bob George was a dearly beloved pastor and one of the early pioneers preaching the true freedom that we now have in Christ". I used to listen to his radio show "People to people " back in the day as much as I could" . That is when he had Bob Christopher now the lead pastor at "Basic Gospel" and Bob Davis the announcer who is also with "Basic Gospel" working with him". His milestone book "Classic Christianity" was a turning point for me and help guide me away from a legalistic bondage type religion and set me free into the rest and peace that Jesus provided for me all along". One of his answers to a question that a caller asked him on his radio show that I will always remember with a smile was "Will smoking cigarettes cause me to lose my salvation and go to hell"? Bob's answer was "Smoking cigarettes will not cause you to go to hell but, they will sure make you smell like you have been there"!. I still laugh whenever I remember that one. Bob was always a target of modern day Judaizers and Pharisees who did not understand the freedom in Christ that he was preaching and were always out to get him in some way or another and tried to have his radio spots removed from radio stations and what not but he always stayed on the air and fought back at these foes with his preaching of the truth". He passed away a few years back and hearing the news I was saddened but also very happy knowing that he fought the good fight and preached the truth to millions and was now receiving his reward from God for a job well done"😊
1John 1:9 is talking to Christians. Look at the pronouns that he uses "we, us, our". When you use the word "we" in a sentence you are including yourself and those that are in your circle.
If John was talking to sinners he would say. "If THEY confess THEIR sins. He is faithful and just to forgive THEM THEIR sins and to cleanse THEM from all unrighteousness". John would have never included
himself.
John was the oldest christian living at that time and if a christian did not have to confess their sins don't you think John would have known that.
In verse 7 John is telling them to walk in the light. YOU CANNOT TELL SINNERS TO WALK IN THE LIGHT ....THEY CAN'T....THEY HAVE TO BE CONVERTED FIRST. ONLY CHRISTIANS CAN WALK IN THE LIGHT.
PLEASE.....TELL THE PEOPLE THE TRUTH. AND DON'T TRY TO CHANGE ( 1JOHN1:9) BECAUSE IT CONTRIDICTS YOUR HYPER-GRACE TEACHINGS.
John used not only "we" but us" as in If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins... John used we and us in 1 John 1:8,9 & 10 along with we and us in 1 John 1:5 & 6.
This guy seems to have been commissioned to revise the Gospel and give it his spin so everything it says now means something different from what God is telling us!
It is about fellowship, not salvation
Jasho Beam a believer cannot lose his salvation. Romans 4:8. How if God no longer imputes sin on me?
LW97 / Vettel2011
Why don't you read your Bible instead of listening to people's opinions?
HE DID take away ALL those sins that i had committed for 38 years!!!! now i confess daily(but not to a priest) to the HIGH PRIEST(Jesus) to cleanse myself that i dont return to the slop-->[2Pe 2:22 KJV] 22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog [is] turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
I'm grateful that He forgave us for every sin we will ever do.
@@kallyjon The Word(Jesus) speaks to all Christians(Followers of Jesus(The Word(1 john,2 john. 3 john...ect....))..... and since Jesus is ....ALIVE and WELL.. TODAY.... HE SPEAKS TO US CHRISTIANS TODAY.
@@kallyjon no... The Lord tells us that HE used to give direct revelation thru prophets, but now ONLY speaks thru HIS SON(Jesus(The Word(The bible)))-->1¶God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
@@kallyjon no. We follow Jesus(THE WORD-)->1¶In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2The same was in the beginning with God.
3All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made .
14¶And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
@@kallyjon I've been baptized on dec 7th 2014.
Oh man that's so laser focus on the completed work of christ .
The message of the gospel, the Word, was/is eternal. Jesus was born as a creation on earth. (Earth is Not a planet.) Jesus increased in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man. Luke 2:52
Acts 26: 20 "that they should repent and turn to God, performing works in keeping with their repentance." We need to maintain a lifestyle of repentance, if we start neglecting our salvation and begin acquiescing to sin then we are in dangerous territory. These verses are warning against living in blatant unrepentant sin, just because we accepted the Lord doesn't mean that we can go live our lives however we chose, we must continue in a relationship of turning away from sin. Hebrews 10: 14 "for by one offering he perfected forever those who are being sanctified." Sanctification is a process that we need to continue in, 1 Thessalonians 4: 7-8 "God has not called us for the purpose of impurity, but in sanctification. So he who rejects this is not rejecting man but God who gives his holy spirit to you." Sanctification is a on going process and to reject it is to reject God. Once saved always saved is false doctrine.
Well Done misrepresenting the Catholic Position...typical.
Brandon Peterson Catholicism is a misrepresentation of Christianity so yea...
Would gnosticism be the same as narcissism in our time?
Being a narcissist is all about me me me me so yeah a gnostic is probably a narcissist as they believe that they transcend this reality through knowledge but both terms are not the same in definition.
@@sigra4867 gnosticism is repackaged in the new age movement today. Narcissism has nothing to do with it. Blessings.
@@48lilyofthevalley A gnostic is more likely to be a narcissist than any other as they believe they can become Gods through knowledge which is what a narcissist thinks of himself among men as they place themselves above others, that was my point on how gnosticism and narcissistic can relate but not be the exact same thing.
Peace and love from a beloved high above.
@@sigra4867 Well, that maybe so, but narcissism is often a side effect of a bad mental illness such as bipolar disorder or borderline personality disorder. Here is a 24 minute video from a great free grace channel that might help you understand more. It gets into modern ways gnosticism shows up, too. Peace and blessings.

@@48lilyofthevalley From what I understand, most if not all people have narcissistic qualities in them and I think the reason for that is because of sin as sin makes us self centered and not selfless like God is selfless as all narcissists are selfish to the core as it is all about me myself and I.
