A. If we say we are Christians and believe in God yet we continue to sin knowingly then we are liars. We have the Holy Spirit to guide. So, we need ask the Holy Spirit to guide, lead and teach us. We should be quickened by the Holy Spirit when we are about to sin. If we have the fear of God in us we will never sin over and over again. How does this involve self-deception? What is the result, according to verse 7, when we walk in the light? How do we get back into the light if we sin? We deceive ourself when we fail to walk in the light. We are cleansed from our sins when we are walking in the light. When we sin all we have to do is to confess our sins and God in His faithfulness will forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Q1. (1 John 1:3-4, 6-7) Why is our fellowship with fellow Christians so often just on a surface level? How can we have fellowship at a deeper level in Christ? What would it take in your Christian group or your relationships with other believers to deepen your level of fellowship so it is authentically Christian? A. We often lack understanding. Instead of having a deeper relationship with fellow Christians we look at our own worldy interests. How can we have fellowship at a deeper level in Christ? What would it take in your Christian group or your relationships with other believers to deepen your level of fellowship so it is authentically Christian? A. When we show others the LOVE of GOD. We should not be selfish and only think of our selves and our needs. We need to understand that God has created us and he knows us best. Our blessings come from him and him alone. If we can understand all this then we will be able to say to our brothers and sisters in Christ that we can stay together and have fellowship because God will reward us.
