Exercise 01

Even after you become a Christian, you are going to make mistakes. 1 John 2:1 states, “My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.” God wants us to live a life without sin, but he also knows we are human and are going to make mistakes. Read 1 John 1:5-10 & 3:9-10. The ESV uses the phrases “walk in the light,” “walk in darkness,” “practice of righteousness” and “practice of sin.” How does the idea of walking in light and practicing righteousness shape your understanding of the life we are to live? Does God expect perfection or faithfulness? What’s the difference?
