1 John 1:9

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

What an incredible thing. At least forgiveness we can somewhat understand, and occasionally we even see it modeled. The problem with the forgiveness that we see is that, even though the offense may have been forgiven, it is still there - a big ugly blot. God goes beyond that and purifies us from all unrighteousness. Purified......... no lingering ugly sin stains or odors. That is truly amazing. Thank you Jesus!
