We’ve never had unbroken fellowship with the Father. We break it all the time, but we know If we acknowledge our sins, then, since he is trustworthy and just, he will forgive them and purify us from all wrongdoing (1 John 1:9). Not only that, but John tells us, My children, I am writing you these things so that you won’t sin. But if anyone does sin, we have Yeshua the Messiah, the Tzaddik [Righteous], who pleads our cause with the Father (1 John 2:1). It’s imperative that we see John address us as my children. It tells us that we always have relationship, but we don’t always have fellowship.
