  • Summary
    • Jesus is the Christ
    • He came to save us.
    • We have to walk in the light if we are to be saved.
  • I John 5:16- The specific “sin leading to death” here is refusing God’s plan of salvation. We can certainy pray for those who are trying to make their sin right. Those who sin and will not repent and confess that to make it right with God will die spiritually. God will not forgive one who does not repent.
