John 1 John 1-3 Translations

II. Main Point 2. God tells us in 1 John 1: 9“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” And again in 2 Corinthians 5:17“Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold the new has come.”

In situating these connotations of the Okyeame in the life of Jesus as portrayed in scripture, this paper discerns how rich this word relates to the identity of Jesus. Firstly, the interpretation of Okyeame as trustworthiness expresses the attitude of confidence, that God the Father has in his Son and the Son has in his Father. The Father entrusts his work of redeeming humanity to his Son. The work of the son as the Gospel of John puts it is that the Father does not judge anyone, but he has given all judgment to his Son (cf. John 5:22) and has given the Son power to exercise judgement, because he is the son of Man (John 5:27). Moreover, at the great commissioning of the apostles Jesus again stamps the trust he received from his Father by affirming

1. Jesus said you had to repent or you would not be saved. "But unless you repent, you will all likewise perish" (Luke 13:3). "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe the gospel" (Mark 1:15).

● “When our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ, says "Repent ye," etc., he means that

God forbid i take it from him!” (240). The entirety of the act portrays John as hating himself for what he’s done, and wishing to make up for his mistakes, but not knowing how to come to peace with his sins even after confessing to Elizabeth, “But i wilted, and, like a Christian, i confessed. Confessed! Some dream i had must have mistaken you for God that day.

John 13:7 “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.”

“So we are lying if we say we have fellowship with God but go on living in spiritual darkness; we are not practicing the truth. If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth. But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.”

Luke 16:10 “He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much”.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us form all unrighteousness (ESV Translation, 1 John 1:7-9).” Jesus Christ is the main idea of the whole bible and through him one can gain access to heaven rather than what you do in Dante’s

John makes it very clear that according to what he has observed that Christ has seen the actions of believers (Henry) and is going to make them his and take them to Heaven. The Angel speaks of this in verses 12 and 13 when he says:

I believe that this verse is used to remind us that our God will always forgive us no matter how serious or daring our sin was. Therefore the relationship we have with him can be healed by our thoughts of confessing, all the evil and misleading intention that we have done to hurt others and ourselves. And so when we finally accept that truth that we have sinned, we can finally heal our relationship with God and others. In comparison to the NRSV version of this verse it's identical to the NAB version, but the only difference between them is the wording they used to write out the verse. Even though these changes are minor it’s making the verse seem more, complex and gives it a deeper understanding into how the wording can change one's perspective

At that time each will receive praise from God,” 1 Corinthians

Kingdom of God (basileia tou theou) is used only six times––one of them being in verse 3d, and speaking about the Kingdom of God . In four of the other five instances, the disciples are proclaiming the Kingdom of God (8:12; 19:8; 28:23, 31). The Kingdom of God is a major emphasis of Jesus' teaching and of Luke's account of the life of Jesus and the early church. Basileia (rule, reign, or realm) tou theou signifies the authoritative power and empowerment of God with us in this sentence.

Believers have been unified in salvation by grace and are called to live like Christ.

In the New Testament we find Jesus Christ, the son of God, preaching the word of God to the people. In the gospel of John 12:49-50 Jesus says, “For I have not spoken on my own, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment about that to say and what to speak. And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I speak, therefore, I speak just as the Father has told me.” Jesus conveys to the people that everything he speaks is what God wants to be spoken.
