Hey eternal. Glad to have you as a defender of the true gospel...when I get home I will start a thread on 1 John And explain how a child in Christ acknowledeges their sin and how a adult understands that In Him. We have no sin.... one cannot be a sinner and justified by Christ at the same time...its impossible. But we do get things on our conscience and need thispromise to reassure our hearts. Especially as a babe in Christ to which John is speaking.
What do you two not understand about future sins are not covered until they are confessed and asked forgiveness of.
Both Paul and Peter say that only your past sins were cleansed. ( Romans 3:25, 2 Peter 1:9 ) Future sins still have to be confessed and asked forgiveness of to be forgiven and covered by the Lord's blood.
