Last Sunday, Ps Isaac explored the concept of justification through 1 John 1:5-2:6, focusing on the fundamental question "Whose am I?" Through Jesus's justifying grace, we are not just pardoned of our sins but restored as children of God – and this identity changes everything.

When we truly understand that we belong to God, it transforms how we live and serve, not as strangers or hired hands going through the motions, but as sons and daughters taking joy in our Father's business. As the Scripture reminds us in 1 John 1, we're called to walk in His light, confess our sins, and embrace the faithful forgiveness that comes with our restored relationship with God.
