ANY sin could keep us from God- in thought or deed
1Jn 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
1Jn 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1Jn 1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
1Jn 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 1Jn 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
Thanks be to God thru Jesus Christ our Lord that He paid a price we could not- we couldn't keep all the rules- we couldn't ever loose the filthy rags of our own righteousness but IN CHRIST we have become the very righteousness of God- thank God for His love and mercy!
