John reminds us in this lesson that one of the obstacles we face in having fellowship with God and enjoying full joy in Him is sin. Our difficulty is that we often try to hide our sin, deceiving ourselves. The solution to our sin is Jesus Christ. When we fully trust in Him, we know that our sins are forgiven and we can enjoy true fellowship with Him.

clean heart, O
God, and renew
a right spirit
within me”
(Psalm 51:10, CB OT p. 889)

the joy of your
salvation”
(Psalm 51:12, CB OT p. 889)

36. Are you experiencing
the full joy of being in
fellowship with God?

37. If not, is it because you
are deceiving yourself
about your sin and not
living in the truth?

38. Are you failing to fully
trust in Jesus’ salvation?

39. Will today be the day
you decide
to go to
heaven?
