DEALING WITH SIN In Our Lives As Christians | 1 John 1:5-10

Let's talk about SIN! Sometimes in Christian culture we shy away from talking about sin because it's offensive. It's offensive to hear that something we are doing is sin. Instead, we opt for softer terms like talking about how we are broken or how we mess up. Those things are true, but it is also true that we are sinners in need of grace - and we cannot talk about the sweet grace of God without first recognizing our sinfulness that brought about the need for it. In this video we are going to be studying 1 John 1:5-10 to see what is says about how we are to deal with sin in our lives as followers of Jesus. 💛

“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." | 1 John 1:9

[@kacinicole]

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me. 💛 I want to hear what you think! What stood out to you most from this video? ✨

[@THESWORFAMILY]

how confession is not an embarrassment, but can make you feel free!

[@Africanchariot]

Am watching it

[@logcadrymom]

Kaci nicole I fear I've blasphemed the holy spirit doesn't that mean I cant be forgiven I'm scared

[@asasunshine2758]

​@logcadrymom I know you made this comment 3 years ago, and maybe this is too late, but I felt The Holy Spirit push me to reach out to you and tell you that no matter what sin you commit as long as you confess and bring it to God He WILL forgive you 💕

[@jocampbell88]

Ughhh... That disgusting 3 letter word! I remember before being saved running to sin and not thinking twice about committing it. Ever since being saved, whenever I sin, I wanna rip my flesh right off me! The believer will never escape sin until we are at home in glory! Praise the Lord that day will come! Good video Kaci!

[@kacinicole]

Amen - thankful for the Gospel that He is continually refining us and will one day make us holy as He is holy! 🙌🏼

[@montanabuck]

I love how you related mold growing in the dark with sin growing in the dark. Bringing our sins into the light, along with a greater understanding of the love of Jesus, truly brings freedom and healing. There is no condemnation in Christ Jesus 💜

[@mckenziewilliams5988]

Something I hope to remember from this video: If I minimize my sin then I'm also minimizing what Jesus came and died for. Thanks for another awesome video, sis!

[@agathag8985]

Its 6 AM in Indonesia, and im really grateful to start my day with praying and watch your video about this topic. Its like an answer for my prayer😄

[@kacinicole]

Wow that's incredible! I'm so happy to have you along to study this with me! 💛

[@StaceyGraceFaithChannel]

Wow this is so weird my church service today was about sin! I feel like a lot more people need to talk about this! Tysm for this!💗💗

[@SimplyLivingInFaith]

that's good, because a lot of churches don't talk about sin which isn't good.

[@kacinicole]

No way, that's so cool! Love when God does that!

[@derek_michael]

It's really easy to see that people who do not deny the flesh are not truly happy. If indulging in whatever brought us temporary pleasure truly made us happy, the world wouldn't look as it does today.

[@kacinicole]

This is so true! Sin always seems like it will satisfy, but it only leaves us empty

James 5:16 We as christian,s need to rise together even when we,re absent from one another.Some of us don,t have anyone to trust in,so no matter what we need to confess to God and trust in him because he does love us and people may not.God Bless

[@joshuajames9625]

The mold analogy was so well put. It actual gives a perspective on how we often stray away from the light when we are doing wrong. Thanks for sharing

[@kacinicole]

I'm so glad you liked that analogy! 😊

[@TheDanishHomemaker]

I dont Really have any community who believes in the Lord and value the bible. I used to be in New age and wasnt raised with the Word of God ~ nobody around me really believed, and told me about Jesus and the Bible. It was more a cultural thing. Jesus found me, and lead me to the bible himself. It have been a blessing to be alone in faith in many ways, because it taught me to turn to God. But It's nice to watch your videos ~it makes me feel less alone and I feel like im listening to a friend and sister in christ. I thank God for youtube💜 Thank you for serving the Lord and the church with these videos, and your kindness 🌸

[@davidcolwill1773]

Wish I could make this comment anonymous so you know there’s no strings attached No one is perfect but I see you are a true woman if God full of wisdom and beauty. Everything you said in this video was spot on and very biblical. You’re gonna make a godly man very blessed one day. Keep growing in wisdom and Godliness - David

[@srich7503]

Great video! 👍🏻🙏 2 other consequences of non-confessed sin: 1) We tend to minimize our own sin more and more as you discuss in video. And as a society this act leads to minimizing what actually is sin. Many people do not see certain acts as sinful acts today as they should. 2) Then what follows from there is - who gets to decide what is sin and what is not? Peace!

[@user-po3yg2zj1e]

Kaci this is an awesome presentation of sin and its remedy. confession, repentance, and walking in the light and the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all unrighteousness. More importantly, is the restoration of our fellowship with one another and with God! May God keep reveling to you moe as you expound His word.

[@corneliusfernandes1440]

Thankyou so much for this message.i am a born again believer from India.please prayer for my country to come to Jesus as lord and saviour of their lives..so much of idol worship everywhere here.Jesus is the only one true living God! ❤

Lord I bring all my sins before you now, i bring myself before you and ask you for you In Jesus name amen

[@vj9055]

This is such a beautiful video. So well explained no justification of sin but repentance of sin, reading scripture without offending❤. So much wisdom in the content too.❤

[@_deut6.9]

Its so so important that we have to go research and investigate into what God considers sin (off the path in original definition) and why Yeshua came as prophesied rather than what we believe and think is sin by our own personal fluctuating standards of right and wrong, good and bad.

[@kristeingarcia4937]

So on point! Thank you for speaking about this sometimes I kick myself for something I said or did but when that happens I feel so bad, and right than and there I ask For forgiveness and repent. I know that’s is the Holy Spirit convicting me saying , “Why did you say that or why did you do that?” I just keep asking him to keep working in me. My mind, my heart, and spirit. I know I’m not who I was before. I just ask him to give me the courage to never go back to who I was and to keep working in me. I know I’m not perfect but I really try to be better than who I use to be. 🤍

[@kylenicholas2957]

Where there is no law there is no sin blessed is he who the Lord imputes no sin

Who else is watching this in 2021??

[@SimplyLivingInFaith]

Thank You, Kaci for this video. I like to also say the Lords prayer incase I may not realize my sin I may have done today. But, The Holy Spirit has been convicting me off Old sins in the past.

[@kacinicole]

I love the example of that the Lord's Prayer gives us!

[@SimplyLivingInFaith]

@@kacinicole Yes! So good and I sometimes just finish off with my own words most the time when I use it :)

[@TheBritishPatriot]

I really needed this today! Thank you so SO much! I only have one question, surely confessing our sins to God alone is sufficient enough (he is the ultimate Light to shine on our darkness)rather than also confessing to a trusted community, especially when some of us don't have a trusted non-judgmental Christian community or close friend to whom we can confess?

[@lindat.6190]

So good! Thank you Kaci! ✨

[@kacinicole]

Thanks Linda, I'm so glad it was helpful to you!

[@theta_plays9997]

My sins are like the sands by the sea, sexism, pride, lust, adultery of the heart, lying, unrighteous anger, gossip, etc etc... May God forgive me, have mercy on my soul oh God. Help me walk in the light

[@rutihimbuguzajeandedieu]

It doesn't matter how much our sins are,we have insurance in our Savior Jesus Christ,he paid for our sins and he can cleanses us from our sins, our part is to bring our sins to him, repenting them and willing to forsake them he freely forgive us none is perfect all of us have sinned but after repenting we are made free in Jesus Christ.God loves you come to him and you will become perfected in him.

[@coolsi04]

Thanks so much kaci, amazing word! . When we mess up I recall Hebrews 4:16 Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

[@rickstarnes6877]

Thank you, Kaci. Excellent reminder!!

[@TheWondrousWorldofMabel]

Your videos have helped immensely with learning more about God, Jesus and His word, this video was no different. I have personally always had trouble with condemning myself when I sin and not truly believing that God has forgiven me because my shame and grief was so great. I love this video because I learned that confessing your sin is not a bad thing or does not have to be but it is a good thing for God to relieve the sin from you and bring it to the light. Thank you for this video. I hope many people see this video to learn this as well, that you do not need to run from God or your sin.

[@HendriSupradi]

Amen. Thank You Lord.

[@evetted21]

Hi kaci this was very helpful lesson on sin I read 1 John 1:9 every morning and other healing scriptures . Yes we need God help to keep us focus on him and confess sin that separate us from him .

You’re very wise. I just came across your channel and I really like it.

[@busihlongwane8706]

Thank you Kaci for sharing the true gospel to us, I personally sometimes struggle to walk in the light but your lessons are encouraging that we should not strive to be perfect but seek him in truth and in spirit , separate from sin and fully depend on his grace to change us🙏May the Lord continue to bless you as He uses you to bless others.... 🙌🏼 Busi from SA 🇿🇦

[@peterarchangel2035]

Excellent video! Just the encouragement I needed. Thanks!

[@meganlouiseoregan397]

Hey Kaci, I woke up and saw you'd uploaded and had to pull out my pen and notebook straight away, this was an excellent message thankyou, it's refreshing to talk about Sin. 1 thing I'm taking away from your talk is that confession leads to freedom and isn't something to lock away, neither is it a punishment to awknowledge our sin. I often thought the same and it's great to be reminded of God's love to us and faithfulness and whole reason why he sent us Jesus. It's great to talk about it. I hope to remember all you've said and not be so defensive in the future should someone point out to me my sinful ways. Thankyou Kaci, have a blessed week. ❤️

God requires us to come to Him with clean hands and a clean heart. This means that we need to look clean but we also need to be clean inside. God is more interested in the inside, what we are and what we are like...... he wants us be like Jesus....... So good I really liked it Kaci.......Dan ヅ❤

Hey I have a question, do we have to be specific when we confess our sins? And what if they are too many? Please I really hope that you’ll or maybe someone may answer this. Thank you so much!

[@rebekaalittlesheep9289]

Hi. Here is a few words about my own experience. When I confess my sin to Jesus I try to be specific, it can be one word or a whole sentence. How much you talk is not important, what is important is that you understand what you did wrong. Pray and ask for help. Second you ask if there are many sins. If there are many you will need to take more time from doing other things and pray. Take notice of repeated sin and pray about it :) Jesus helps you all the way if you are willing. Ask anything and we can talk about it :)

[@andicunanan]

@@rebekaalittlesheep9289 tysm!!

[@epimetheus7326]

It is a constant danger that we might start perceiving faith as an escape from the difficulties we face in life,including the burden of responsibility.That's why I was never a fan of the whole 'Jesus take the wheel'. It always sounded like an excuse for not taking action and for not accepting responsibility for the action that we did do.

[@jfth-fq4uw]

Great talk 🙂

[@edchung4263]

I think James 5:16 (confess your sins to one another...) should be taken in context in the overall chapter. Verse 14 indicates reference to the presbyters for anointing of the sick. It also applies to Verse 16 that "one another" refers to the presbyters. Presbyters by definition is an elder, teacher, priest or someone with administrative functions.

[@randymortensen9938]

Great analogy you made between the mold in your old house and with sin. What are your thoughts on Catholics that go to confession, how they are to confess their sins with the priest?

[@kennethcava4488]

If you sin, run TO God. Running away will cause you to feel isolation, despondency, and far more likely to continue the sin.

[@sabagill4722]

I am desperately looking for a zoom meeting on Wednesday nights for a Bible study. Any suggestions?

[@SilasRaven]

Righteousness is a gift that is received when we believe the gospel. No man makes himself righteous. AND no man makes himself unrighteous. Unrighteousness is received by being in Adam. Righteousness is received by being in Jesus. Thus, 1 John 1:9 is not about those in Christ, but about those in Adam who "confess" (agree with God) that they have sin which needs forgiven and to be cleansed of all unrighteousness. Forgiveness of sins is in Christ, and is received when we turn to God, having believed that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and raised for our justification. The ONLY people who are lying if they say they have no sin, are those who have not been forgiven or cleansed from all unrighteousness. Obviously, anyone who has been cleansed of all sin (vs 7) by the blood of Jesus, is not lying when they say they have no sin, they would be lying if they said they still have sin, after having been cleansed. What an insult it would be, to the blood of Jesus, to have been cleansed by His blood and still claim you have sin. In Christ, there is none unrighteous. Paul tells us that those who have been reconciled to God are the righteousness of God. Who are we to undue what Christ has done?

[@annasophiafernandez]

hello ma'am kaci, is it hard and painful to repent or be humble to confess your sin? how do i turn to God?

[@Peekaboo119_]

Hm it isn’t hard to confess your sin! Turning to God is by first praying, let Him know that you’re putting Him into your life! Then, now knowing you’re living a new life, work by faith! Grow your faith through reading your Bible, and worship! And when you have troubles, pray and trust in God:)

[@rogerplested9484]

What about Romans 4:5

[@chookvalve]

That scripture from Paul reminds us that we are only saved by grace- yes. It does not say we can go on sinning. Romans 8 explains it well, We live according to flesh or the Spirit.

[@BansheeKing22]

Never understood why the dark is always demonized. The dark is not inherently evil. In fact ive always felt more peace and comfort from the dark and night. If thats how God made me then how can the dark be evil. Besides there's certain things I've done in my life that no one will ever know about. Unspeakable things that only God will ever know.

[@kylenicholas2957]

1 John 1:8 and Romans 7 the sin is the battle in the mind Isaiah 9:5 the where there is no law there is no sin grace conforms or transforms you into the image ofJesus Christ there is no sin in the body ofChrist it’s usually misunderstood because a person has not been truly born again . Not really understanding grace and being under the law where a person’s mind is blinded having the vail upon them
