SO YOU WILL NOT SIN
Today's reading: 1 John 1-3

"My dear children, I am writing this to you so that you will not sin. But if you do sin, there is someone to plead for you before the Father. He is Jesus Christ, the one who pleases God completely." 1 John 2:1 NLT

Interestingly enough, John's three-part letter is falling at the tail end of the Bible. Just two books from the maps, as some people say.

John's word express the reason for his letter--but also, on a much deeper level, the reason for the Bible itself.

-So that you will not sin.

-And if you do, there is Jesus.

Doesn't that sum up the purpose and intent of the Scriptures?

Every verse of the Old and New Testament, points to Jesus.

From the beginning to the end, and all throughout the middle.

Are you using its words to direct your path away from sin? Are you using the revealing of Jesus, our Savior, when your self guides your actions and leads you into sin?

It's all about Jesus!
