The Confession of Sins - Is 1 John 1:9 a Part of God’s Will for the Present Dispensation of Grace?

Saturday, September 29th, 2007

By Ken Lawson “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). Guilt is a killer. A killer of our joy, our peace, our enjoyment of intimacy with God. It is one of Satan’s most effective weapons against the sons of men. Psychiatrists and doctors tell us that unresolved guilt is the number one cause of mental illness and suicide. Over half of all hospital beds are filled by people who have emotional illnesses. Guilt kills relationships, both among people and with God. We cannot freely forgive others until we first receive that forgiveness from God. Our gracious and loving Father has provided a full and complete deliverance from sin and guilt. But if we believe a lie and fail to deal with guilt in the way God has dealt with it, we fall into a snare and it becomes a most grievous and cruel weapon against us. Guilt is that moral sense of blameworthiness that each of us feels when we know that we have done wrong. It is not necessarily bad, for it tells us that we have sinned and that something must be done about it. Just as our bodies should hurt when they are diseased or injured, so our God-given conscience should hurt when we violate what we know is right. At the beginning, we must realize that God has not dealt with the guilt problem in the same way throughout Bible history. This is of utmost importance to know, for so many of the problems regarding guilt are made worse by people trying to obey God’s commands given to people of other dispensations. For example, under the law of Moses, the children of Israel were commanded to “afflict your souls” as the high priest made atonement for their sins through animal sacrifice (Lev. 16:29-31). The writer of Hebrews elaborates on this Day of Atonement and the inability of the law to provide complete forgiveness. “For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. “For then would they not have ceased to be offered? Because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. “But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. “For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins” (Heb. 10:1-4). Although this was a merciful provision in Israel for the time then present, the law was inadequate to make the worshippers perfect in conscience in relation to the guilt problem. The very fact that the sacrifices had to be repeated was a constant reminder that God’s forgiveness was given out piecemeal, i.e., on an installment plan. It was never completed. God’s people were expected to lament and afflict their souls, which is the antithesis of a perfected conscience. Indeed, far from being a satisfactory answer for guilt, Paul tells us in no uncertain terms why the law was given. “Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God” (Rom. 3:19). God graciously provided the sacrificial system of the law to temporarily atone (cover) the sins of his people until the “precious blood of Christ” could be shed to purchase eternal redemption for us. Those living before the Cross were “saved on credit,” so to speak, until the fullness of time arrived for the complete removal of our sins. Even in portions of what we call the New Testament, forgiveness was conditional and therefore not complete (Matt. 6:12,14,15; 18:34,35; Mark 11:25,26; Luke 6:37c). The revelation of the Mystery through the Apostle Paul by the ascended, glorified Christ was yet future from the perspective of Matthew-John. And so the capstone of divine revelation concerning the total forgiveness of sins remained missing until that time. All of this is essential to understand throughout the remainder of our study. With this in mind, there is one Scripture which in this writer’s view has caused untold harm and detriment to the people of God. Not because the verse itself is faulty, for all Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable, but because religious leaders have so miserably misinterpreted and misapplied its original intent. What makes this all the more tragic is that it comes not from the enemies of Christ but from sincere, well respected, Bible-believing Christians. The verse I speak of is 1 John 1:9. In order to view the verse within its context, I ask you simply to prayerfully consider the following passage from 1 John 1:1-10. 1. 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; 2. (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and show unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)3. 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. 4. And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full. 5. This then is the message which we have heard of Him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. 6. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth. 7. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin. 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. Are you confident that you understand verse 9 in context? Let us see. Although men have many variations of interpretation on this verse, we will mention here only three of the most popular. 1. It is a salvation verse which tells the sinner how to receive the forgiveness of sins today. 2. It is a restoration verse. a. Restoring one to salvation or, b. Restoring one to fellowship 3. It is a verse pertaining to the Jews under the Kingdom program of Prophecy and has little if any application to the Gentiles today under the Body of Christ program of the Mystery. For the time being, I would like to pass over numbers 1 and 3 and deal directly with number 2. The other two will take care of themselves as we come to understand the passage. Part 2-a is the most easily answered. This is the view that a saved person can become lost again through backsliding, carnality, losing faith, etc. Often a person is told that his sins are forgiven up to the time he is saved. From that point forward the merits of Christ’s death are beneficial to him only as he is faithful to confess his sins to God and thus stay cleansed in His sight. First of all, regeneration or the new birth is spoken of as a one time experience. No Bible passage speaks of being born again and again and again. During my college years, I attended a tent meeting for three nights with some friends. I couldn’t help noticing that the same people went forward each night after the sermon to receive forgiveness. One night the evangelist quoted 1 John 1:9 and made the statement that no one with unconfessed sin will enter heaven. When I pressed him about this after the meeting, he finally conceded that John probably meant the grosser forms of sin. This underscores another problem with this view. How many sins did God allow Adam and Eve before they were cast out from His presence in the garden of Eden? Only one. And all they did was eat a piece of fruit that the Lord told them not to. How many unforgiven sins do you suppose it will take to banish you to the everlasting burnings? Only one. God is holy and of purer eyes than to behold evil, and cannot look on iniquity. If your forgiveness depends on your confession of sins, you better be diligent not to forget even one. The second reason 1 John 1:9 cannot refer to a restoration to salvation is that eternal life is a free gift. It is given by God’s grace not merely to the undeserving, but to those who deserve the exact opposite. If God rescinded His gift, that would make Him more gracious to His enemies than to His own children. God does not take back the gift if you become unworthy. We were never worthy to begin with. Thirdly, God wishes for us to enjoy the gift of salvation. Salvation is of the Lord. Man’s only responsibility is to believe. Does God want us to walk through our Christian lives with a cloud over our heads? Those who believe that their forgiveness depends on their continual confession of sins soon find that their Christian experience has turned into “a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness.” The Scriptures tell us that upon believing that the Lord Jesus died for us and rose again we are sealed by the Holy Spirit until the day of redemption. Nothing can separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord (Eph. 1:13,14; Rom. 8:31-38). With the gospel of the grace of God, we have the pleasure of declaring the total forgiveness of sins. This brings peace, joy, and stability. More about this later. Number 2-b above also speaks of restoration, not to salvation or even to maintain it, but rather to fellowship. Those who hold this view understand clearly the teaching of eternal security and the preservation of the saints. The issue this time is intimacy with their heavenly Father. Our relationship is like the Rock of Gibraltar, steadfast and immovable. On the other hand, our fellowship (we are told) is like a tiny thread which the slightest sin in thought, word, or deed can break. Perhaps the best illustration of this view is the fellowship between a father and son. If the son sins against his father, the intimacy formerly enjoyed by both is broken and the pleasure of each other’s company is strained. The blood relationship of father and son remains intact, but the fellowship must be restored by confession of wrongdoing. Likewise, Christians have a blood relationship to our heavenly Father through His Son Jesus Christ. While nothing can break our relationship as sons of God, fellowship can only be restored by acknowledging the sin and an apology made, preferably with a pledge not to repeat the offense. This re-establishes the sweetness of fellowship and the pleasure with which both Father and son can relate to each other. Believers who seek to practice this often speak of “keeping short accounts with God,” that is, making sure you confess sins regularly so your account does not build up with unconfessed sin. Psalms 32, 51, and John 13:1-20 are often quoted to confirm this position. This view of 1 John 1:9 has more to commend it than the previous one. “Confession is good for the soul” is a truism which holds good for all ages and dispensations. Indeed, Proverbs 28:13 says, “He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth1 and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” In my formative years as a Christian, this view seemed to me to be logical, balanced and right. I knew many respected Bible teachers who taught this. Through the years, however, I believe the Spirit of God was pricking my conscience to show me things which revealed the shortcomings of this approach. Among them were: 1. It is based on a performance system of conditional blessing, and shifted my gaze away from Christ and His grace to my own faithfulness (or usually failure) to confess. 2. If what I believed concerning confession was true, I was probably “out of fellowship” much of the time, and so were most believers. 3. There were many things in 1 John Chapter 1 which are inconsistent with this view. 4. Concerning the popular father-son illustration, several rhetorical questions could be asked to show its weakness. What if the son fails to confess wrongdoing? Should the father continue to show him the cold shoulder until he does? What kind of father would that make him? Would this be a fitting picture of how our loving heavenly Father deals with His children today under grace? Further, the phrase “faithful and just” more aptly describes the judge in a courtroom than a father in the family room. 5. I had to honestly admit to myself that I found it extremely difficult to confess all my daily sins on a consistent basis. 6. This view of 1 John 1:9 must, of necessity, occupy a major plank in a person’s belief system. Without regular confession of sin, the promise of continual cleansing is rendered null and void resulting in broken fellowship. And who wants to be out of fellowship with God? 7. Paul, the apostle of the Gentiles, is silent in all his writings on confession of sins for forgiveness, parental or otherwise. 8. Paul’s epistles give us a positive affirmation of total, complete and unconditional forgiveness for all those in Christ Jesus. A few examples should suffice, “In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace” (Eph. 1:7). “And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you” (Eph. 4:32). “And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath He quickened together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses” (Col. 2:13). Forgiveness for the believer is now spoken of as a finished transaction, past history. We do not plead for daily forgiveness any more than we should for daily redemption. It is a part of the “all spiritual blessings” with which we have already been blessed (Eph. 1:3). For further references to Paul’s doctrine of forgiveness for the present dispensation of the grace of God, consult the following Scriptures: Colossians 1:14; 3:13; Romans 4:5-8; Acts 13:38,39. To be continued… Endnotes 1. We have not mentioned the Roman Catholic tradition of confession to a priest, but one verse from Paul should suffice to show the error of this custom. “For there is…one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (1 Tim. 2:5).

How realistic are we?

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

By Stephanie Manley So often when we think of our ideal mate we give them qualities and attributes that one person may or may not be able to possess. These qualities can be how they look, how they treat us, to something like what kind of job that they have. Are these ideas realistic? Sometimes yes, and sometimes we are way off the mark. A good exercise may be to write down these ideals and see how realistic we are. By writing down the characteristics we desire in a potential partner we can learn a lot about ourselves. We often look for characteristics in another person that we do not have. Are we looking for someone stable? Are we looking for someone who has equal professional success that we do? Going through the exercise of writing down as many qualities and characteristics helps us to look and see if we are being reasonable. Personally speaking, I adore tall, dark-haired men, and if they are balding, all the better. Does that mean that I should look only for tall, dark haired men? Most likely, it just means that I like them the best, and that I shouldnt eliminate everyone else in the dating pool. If I would have stuck to this thought, I would have had about 1/10th of the dates that I have had. Once you write everything down that you want and desire, you can see are you looking for good qualities in a person, or simply someone to hang on your arm. My guess is that we would easily trade in a few of those superficial qualities for good character traits in a person. Another thing you may benefit from is just by looking, at your list and reviewing past interests. By reviewing past interests you can see if you are dating people that have qualities that you desire. If you value honesty, and find that you are dating people that arent as honest as what you like, you need to readjust your radar, and start looking for people who have the characteristics you want. By writing down qualities you want in another person, you can tell what you really want and desire. You can also make adjustments and see that are you cultivating relationships with those who have those qualities. It may also be a useful tool in a current relationship to see how that other person measures up. Knowing what you want, is always beneficial when it comes to a relationship, take time out to discover what you want, and decide if youre being reasonable.

The Company Brochure

Tuesday, September 25th, 2007

By Daniel Wadleigh Just like the Yellow Page ad, or your business card, a company brochure has specific functions. It is a stand-alone, generic piece whose role is to give the following three impressions: 1. “You’re in good hands”; we know what we’re doing, and here’s who agrees; we have special training, and here’s by whom; we belong to these trade associations; we have on-going training and monitoring of all aspects of our business; etc. 2. “We do more than the other guys”; we strive to do these extras; our range of products and services include; our added values in our efforts for you are; etc. 3. “We have your best interests at heart”, and here’s who agrees… (mere self-serving statements like that are not believable, thus credible statements from happy customers are needed).

Banish Ugly Foundation Planting - Add Charm to Your House

Tuesday, September 25th, 2007

By August Holcombe Contemporary Garden Design is an eclecticism of classical and naturalistic styles, reflecting boththe eastern and western traditions.The typical suburban plot (which has no sense of design) is locatedamong other plots of approximate size where the front yards run together to form a common park. Most ofthe plants in the yards are plants, dreadfully butchered by loppers or secateurs stuck at the base of thefoundation like a regiment of so many soldiers standing at attention. The foundational plantings ideadeveloped in the United States around the turn of the 19th century, when houses were high off the groundand the foundations were often ugly. However, these yards are ridiculed by present day gardeners and designers alike. One reason being that small properties look better when separated by a border and the house framed by trees. Second, since there are rarely houses built these days high off the ground, there is no need for a heavyfoundation planting, just a few choice shrubs and vines around corners and entrances. The majority of planting in the public area should be confined to borders along the property line.In the private area, there are many more ways to create garden pictures. The public area should be simplein line and easy to maintain. You may wish to do up your home garden in the English Cottage style first espoused in England in the late1800’s by William Robinson and Gertrude Jekyll and popularized by Rosemary Verey, Penelope Hobhouse, and RyanGainey in the 1990’s. If you have plenty of time to work in borders of perennials, annuals, herbs,antique roses, heirloom shrubs, and such, you can create lovely garden pictures. A contemporary naturalistic style espoused by Piet Oudolf in Europe and John Brookes in England, madepopular in the United States by Wolfgang Oehme and James van Sweden uses great expanses of ornamental grasses,bamboos,and perennials in juxtaposition to manicured lawns. The California style began in the 1950s in the Bay Area by Thomas Church and Garrett Eckbo and addressedthe typical suburban small lot with very good,functional design and easy to maintain. Low maintenancebecame the mantra. Perhaps you want your home garden to be a study in classicism, very structured and orderly as seen in thedesign work of Russell Page and Sir Roy Strong,influenced by the French and Italian Schools of Western GardenDesign as practiced in the west before the influence of China, known in design chinoserie (naturalism) in the 1700’s.

DIY Wedding Favors: Personalized Candy Wrappers

Sunday, September 23rd, 2007

By Chris Fischer If you are looking for a unique and affordable favor, why not create a personalized chocolate favor covered with a custom wrapper that tastefully coordinates with your wedding theme. If creating an edible keepsake appeals to you, you have many styles of favors to choose from. The most popular candy wrapper favor is the full-sized chocolate bar. One of the main benefits to using a full-sized favor is that it can be made to serve dual purposes. In addition to being a creative favor for your guests, it can also serve as a seating placecard complete with the guests’ names and table seating imprinted on the wrapper. The full-sized candy wrapper favor utilizes a Hershey’s 1.55 oz. chocolate bar over which a custom candy wrapper is applied. Now that Hershey’s has modified their wrapper, an additional foil covering is also needed if you like the look of metallic foil ends. Another option for the full-sized candy wrapper favor would be to use Nestle’s Cookie n Creme bars. Although they are now also full enclosed, the ends are still metallic; providing a more “finished” look to your favor. You can also use mini or nugget-sized candy wrapper favors. These smaller treats can be sprinkled onto guests tables as personalized accents. Or they can be decoratively bundled within organza favor bags, complete with a bow and gift tag. The quickest way create a candy wrapper favor layout and design from scratch is to purchase a few bars of the chocolate you will be using and remove the original wrapper. You will need to measure the original wrapper to determine the overall size. You will also need to locate the approximate position of text and images. Then open your word processor or graphics program and create a new document using these measurements. You may need to reposition your text boxes a few times and print out a few samples to ensure that the image and text positioning is correct. Once everything is in place, you can personalize the front of the wrapper with graphics that match your wedding theme, photos of the couple or simply add a couple’s monogram. Complete the wrapper by adding a personal couple’s sentiment on the back. If the thought of having to measure out and design a wrapper from scratch doesn’t appeal to you, you can still save money and time by purchasing a pre-made candy wrapper design and adding your own text. Pre-made designs come in almost every color and theme imaginable. Adding custom text is as simple as inserting the imagine into a graphics program or word processor such as Microsoft Word. Just add your text and print; then cut and assemble your favors. Some quick tips for assembling your custom candy wrappers:If you will be creating a lot of wrappers, invest in a paper trimmer which you can get from most office supply stores. Trimmers designed for personal use cost between $12-$18 and will expertly trim your wrappers and save a tremendous amount of time and energy. Using printer ink can be costly, especially for wrappers with intense colors. Save ink by printing one set of wrappers, then run off color copies at your local copy or office supply store. Create beautiful edges on your wrappers using fancy edge scissors found at most craft stores. Glue sticks can be used to seal the wrapper; but double-sided tape provides a cleaner, more professional finish and is less likely to come undone during handling. When done properly, custom candy wrapper chocolate favors can become a very tasteful and elegant accent to your wedding reception. The ability to add personalization makes it a favor your guests will certainly remember. Chris is a contributing designer at Raspberry Swirls, a site providing custom printable candy wrappers and invitations for weddings, birthdays and more. Raspberry Swirls carries a full line of professionally designed wrapper sets for both personal do-it-yourself projects, as well as design packages for starting your own candy wrapper business.

Rhema Therapy

Wednesday, September 19th, 2007

By Sharron Myers The word Rhema comes from the ancient Greek word meaning living, breathing word. It is distinguished from the written Word of God which is logos. The spoken Word of God is considered Rhema. Jesus said, The Words I speak to you are spirit and are life (John 6:63) Most of you are probably asking yourself, “What on earth is Rhema Therapy?” Basically, it is a therapy based on words (no kidding). You see, Words produce thoughts, and thoughts affect our actions and emotions, even our health. Words are more powerful than you might imagine. Words can make us laugh, or words make us cry. There are even words that can bring on aggression. Have you ever heard the term, “those are fighting words”? Yes, words are very powerful things. They are much more than just letters bunched together to help us communicate,Words can affect your very life!!!! Think of the word Circus for example. When you think the word, a picture automatically forms in your mind. Now think of the words below. What pictures are you creating in your mind? How do you feel? Put yourself in the picture and visualize yourself as confident etc. Abundance Achievement Confidence Creativity Freedom Grace Guidance Happiness Harmony Health Honesty Inspiration Intelligence Kindness Life Love Memory Peace Persistence Power Purpose Resourcefulness Serenity Strength Success Wisdom Similarly, if you were to think of words that may make you think negatively you will get negative pictures in your mind. For example think of these words. Anger Deception Pain Adultery Do you see how these negative words affect you? How do you feel right now? Go back now and go through the previous list so you can get your good feelings back again. This little example illustrates that words do invoke thoughts and feelings. The three are so inter-related it is hard to differentiate which comes first, the word, the thought or the feeling. When we are feeling negative we must look to our subconscious mind and find out what happened just prior to our feeling negative. Were you thinking of words, someone may have said or that you read, or were there thoughts which caused the negative feeling. To remedy this simply change the thought and you will change your feelings. Jesus said, “You have heard that it was said, You shall not commit adultery. But I tell you, everyone who looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. Matthew 5:27-28 So we see that just thinking is as if we are actually doing it in our mind. The mind cannot discriminate between imagination and reality. This is why it is so important to think positive thoughts. This is why Paul admonishes us to think right thoughts. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4:8 The New Living Translation of the Bible says: A cheerful look brings joy to the heart; good news makes for good health Proverbs 15:30Be careful what you think about and what you hear, read and say. Words are not just a bunch of letters joined together to form a language. Words convey thoughts, images and feelings. Matthew 12: 34 How could evil men like you speak what is good and right? For whatever is in your heart determines what you say. 35 A good person produces good words from a good heart, and an evil person produces evil words from an evil heart. 36 And I tell you this, that you must give an account on judgment day of every idle word you speak. 37 The words you say now reflect your fate then; either you will be justified by them or you will be condemned.” 1 Peter 3:10,11 For the one who wants to love life and to see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit, and he must turn away from evil and do good. He must seek peace and pursue it, Matthew 15:10-11 10 Then Jesus called to the crowds and said, “Listen to what I say and try to understand. 11 You are not defiled by what you eat; you are defiled by what you say and do. Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.” –Frank Outlaw This article is bought to you by Sharron Myers Sharron Myers has been a teacher of Spiritual Truth for over 30 years.
