1 John 1:8-10 (KJV)

1 John 1:8-10 (KJV)
“8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.”
It is true; we have a tendency to see things as we are. The only way we can be faithful to repentance (change/transformation) is to see things as they really are. This t...akes the heart to see things beyond ourselves. This is one of the reasons why the Trinity is holy. The Father defers to the Son and the Holy Spirit, The Son to the Father and the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit to the Father and the Son. They are interdependent upon each other and refuse to be otherwise (John 5:30).
Sometimes it is easier for others to recognize our struggles before we do. It takes different views to see all angles. Denial is simply refusing to see things beyond our position and our certainties. This is why we need fellowship with Jesus. He can see all angles and He can reveal them to us.
To continue in fellowship with Him is to simply acknowledge what He hands to us. He is faithful and He is just; we must trust that He is (Vs.9). Can we imagine we may have missed an angle; the only way His Word can be present (“…and His Word is not in us”) to deliver and to heal us is when we trust Him enough to see things as He sees them.
