In 1 John 1, it says if we claim to be without sin, we make him out to be a liar. But then a few verses later, he's like, anyone born of God does not continue to sin. So which is it? But it's because you're now in a state of newness based on Jesus' death on a cross and him being presented in heaven itself. As an atonement for your sins.

He's literally a sacrifice presented to the presence of the Father on your behalf and has given you his Holy Spirit, which is this new heaven and new earth. And you're in a state of newness every morning. The forgiveness is happening. Now, it says, you know, 1 John, if we confess our sins, he's faithful because we're honest with God. our relationship and His presence in our life.

But it makes more sense if you're looking at one of the qualities of that freedom in Christ as a newness that is just continual now. Not just, oh, we're waiting on a new heaven and new earth. Yeah, the places per se.

You know why? Because that's why God chose us to be here despite all this evil and suffering. Because we, in a place of lament and pain, can bring forth hope. through God in our life.

I think what's interesting, Zach, making that point about he's basically calling God the Father, his witness, which is, I think Paul did that in a couple of his writings also. He's like, as God as my witness. Because we never think about it. Just think about your life. And I've used that before when people are defending something that's not moral and they're claiming to be followers of Jesus.

I'm like, well, let's, and they're justifying it. I'm like, well, let's call God as a witness. Because he knows all. He sees all. It's always kind of a pause when that thought happens. Because most people who are justifying evil behavior are not thinking that God is aware that they're justifying evil behavior. It's like when they think about it.

Let me just think about your life or all the trial cases we watch. You're like, I now call God. God, the creator of the universe, to the stand on my behalf, which is what Jesus was doing. And so what I think is interesting when he uses this witness language is in Acts 1, when he gathered up his disciples, and he's like, I'm going to... you know, give you the power to do this.
