JOHN 1:8-10
8 He himself was not the light; he came to tell about the light. 9 This was the real light—the light that comes into the world and shines on all people.10 The Word was in the world, and though God made the world through him, yet the world did not recognize him.
We are all sinners, but in Christ, God offers us forgiveness and will purify us from all our shortcomings. By confessing our sins, we are made right with him.
