Forever in His Presence - Part 1

Discussion Questions: How has “experiencing the presence of God” been communicated popularly in the church today? How does this perspective fall short of the amazing truth? How has the concept of “fellowship” been misunderstood in the Christian world today? What is the truth about our fellowship with God? What about when we sin? What happens with the Holy Spirit? What does not happen with Him? (Be specific on the consequences of sin and what we retain.) What heresies is John combating in his first chapter? Why is this so important to understand? How do verses 8 and 10 shed light on who needs the solution of verse 9? Explain. React to this statement: 1 John 1:9 was written to sin deniers, and we believers already have forgiveness and cleansing of all unrighteousness, forever!
