“This is the message we heard from Jesus and now declare to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in him all. … if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin. … if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.” 1 John 1:5,7,9.
