Lord, we bow before You to confess that we are still sinful, that we are still in the old nature, and that we are still so much in the self. Lord, how much we need Your cleansing!
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

God is (faithful) in His word (v. 10) and (righteous) in the blood of Jesus His Son (v. 7). His word is the word of the (truth) of His gospel (Eph. 1:13), which tells us that He will forgive us our sins because of Christ (Acts 10:43); and the (blood) of Christ has fulfilled His righteous requirements that He might forgive us our sins (Matt. 26:28). If we (confess) our sins, He, according to His word and based on the redemption through the blood of Jesus, forgives us because He must be faithful in His (word) and righteous in the (blood) of Jesus; otherwise, He would be unfaithful and unrighteous.(See 1 John 1:9 note 2)
