What should Christians do in response to their sinfulness?
Answered in 1 source
Christians are called to confess their sins and seek God's mercy, as described in 1 John 1:9.
In response to sinfulness, Christians are encouraged to bring their transgressions before God, seeking His mercy and forgiveness, as articulated in 1 John 1:9: 'If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.' This act of confession is fundamental to the Christian faith, as it reflects our acknowledgment of dependence on God's grace. Moreover, it cultivates a deeper relationship with God and fosters spiritual growth, as we turn away from sin and towards Christ. It is essential for Christians to regularly evaluate their lives in light of God’s Word, embracing His compassion and encouraging one another in the faith.
