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.
