# 1 John 1:9 and Obedience **1 John 1:9** states: "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness" (NIV). This verse teaches that obedience includes the practice of confessing our sins to God. It emphasizes that faithful obedience is not sinless perfection, but rather involves honestly acknowledging our failures before God, trusting in His promise to forgive and cleanse us when we do.
