As we begin our Bible study, as a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ be sure you have named your sins privately to God the Father. Scripture tells us if we confess our (known) sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our (known) sins and to cleanse us from all (unknown, or forgotten sins) unrighteousness. ( 1 John 1:9 ). We will then be in fellowship with God, filled with the Holy Spirit, and ready to learn from the Word of God.
