If
we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in
us. If we confess our sins, He is
faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

John 1:8-9
Where
should a new Christian start reading in the Bible?
The
Book of John is good because it tells the whole Gospel story and it speaks
of the love of God.
But
if a person has spent time in the church previously, without connecting with the Gospel, 1 John might be a better choice. 1 John helps us realize that being a Christian
is not about being holier than thou, but recognizing that we all are sinners
and we are all saved by grace.
Recognizing
that we are sinners allows us to minister to others without passing judgment,
and with the truth of the Gospel that God loves us all.
