Summary
Would you open your Bibles please with me today to first John the second chapter for our study, first John chapter two. And John is writing here to the church because there's false teaching that he is addressing and he's also writing to the church to assure them of their salvation. In fact, when you look at the Greek on this, in terms of the tenses and the word that is used, a way you could translate that would be, if anyone does sin and you certainly will, that's what's being communicated in the tenses that are being used with this Greek word. Well, it's a portion of scripture that's just incorporated right into our liturgy, right as part of our confession. Well, particularly struck me in this article was that one third of all of the people in the church in this survey, one third of the people involved across denominational lines, they checked the box that communicated that while they understand that they make mistakes in life, they didn't understand themselves to be sinful. What's that fruitful moment that all of the other pictures, they drive through, they drive through, what is that fruitful moment in Holy Scripture?
