Our sins, like the wind, take us away

"Contact with my own species 

has always disappointed me."

1 John 1:5-10

"This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, 

that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.

If we say that we have fellowship with Him 

and yet walk in the darkness, 

we lie and do not practice the truth; 

but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, 

we have fellowship with one another, and the blood 

of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. 

If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves 

and the truth is not in us. 

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous 

to forgive us our sins 

and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 

If we say that we have not sinned, 

we make Him a liar and His word is not in us."

Isaiah 64:6

"For all of us have become like one who is unclean,

And all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment;

And all of us wither like a leaf,

And our iniquities, like the wind, take us away."
