Royce Goree | The Gift of Forgiveness | Thursday 9.3.2026 | Join Us 6AM PST

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.”

Forgiveness requires honesty. First John 1:9 does not tell us to hide, minimize, justify, or rename our sin. It invites us to confess it. There is freedom in bringing the truth into the presence of a God who already knows it and has already made provision for it.

The gift of forgiveness does not require pretending we did nothing wrong. It gives us permission to tell the truth without believing the truth about our failure is the final truth about our identity. Confession becomes the doorway through which shame loses its power and cleansing begins.

May today’s declaration give you courage to be honest with God. May you trust that confession does not push Him away—it brings you into deeper fellowship with the One who is faithful to forgive and cleanse.

Join us weekday mornings at 6AM PST as we pray, process, and prepare to live from victory—not for victory.
