God Is Faithful And Just To Forgive Us Our Sins

  We were made one with Christ, united with Him, positioned in Him, brought back into fellowship with God our Maker, and given the right to enter the throne room of the Almighty to find grace to help in time of need. And we even became entitled to call Him - Our Father' by grace through faith in Christ Jesus our Lord.
 Although the power of sin was severed at the Cross, it seeks to retain authority in our lives. Although we were justified by grace through faith in Christ, we are too often willing to be influenced to sin by our old sin nature.
 Nothing can separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus, and nothing can break our union with our living Lord,  but sin breaks fellowship with the Father. Sin severs our communion with God. Sin is the barrier that the Christian can erect which breaks our fellowship with Himself and cuts us off from communion with the Father. BUT if a Christian confesses their sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
 Although our post-salvation sins were forgiven forever at the Cross of Christ, fellowship with the Father is broken when we allow the old sin nature to direct our lives, which means that the communion we once enjoyed with Him is broken. But if we take every thought captive to Christ, walk in the light as He is in the light, and if we confess any sinful acts and attitudes (whether they be wrong things that we have done or godly things that we have not done) God Is Faithful And Just To Forgive Us Our Sins, to cleanse us from all unrighteousness, and to remember our sin no more.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You that when Christ died, He paid the price for our sins and broke the power of sin in our lives. In Him, we have fellowship with You and free access to the throne of grace. We confess that we have not always walked in spirit and truth but have given in to the temptations to follow the desires and cravings of our own hearts. We are sorry for doing things that were displeasing to You and omitting to do those things that were pleasing to You but thank You that You are faithful and just to forgive all our sins and to keep on cleansing us from unrighteousness. In Jesus' name We Pray, AMEN.
