“If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.” - 1 John 1:10

The word of God is powerful and cuts deep. When we have the word in us, we will instantly realize that we are sinners. This is because the word of God convicts us and displays our flaws, as in a mirror.

No one can claim that he is perfect once he is tried by the word of God. If we try to deny the fact that we have sin in us, we are deliberately inferring that God is a liar and that there is no truth in His word.

The mark of a true child of God is a heart to accept that he is a sinner and fall before the presence of God with repentance and confession. Let us try not to deceive ourselves and hide our sins before the One who sees all. Let us open our hearts and minds to the Lord, to walk in the Light as He is in the light (vs. 7).
