“Your Sins Are Forgiven”
1 John 2:12 (ESV)
“I am writing to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven for his name’s sake.”
After strong warnings, John reassures.
He calls them “little children”—a term of affection, not immaturity.
He wants them anchored in something foundational:
Your sins are forgiven.
Not “might be.”
Not “if you perform well.”
But forgiven.
And notice why:
“for his name’s sake.”
Your forgiveness is rooted in Christ’s work and reputation—not your consistency. God forgives because of who Jesus is and what He has done.
Before John challenges them further, he grounds them in grace.
This is how the Christian life works:
Grace first.
Growth next
