1 John 1:6-7

If we say that we have fellowship with him while we are walking in darkness, we lie and do not do what is true; but if we walk in the light as he himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.

It's a mistake, as we walk to Jerusalem, to deny the power of Sin. A student of history will remember the disastrous 4th Crusade, wherein, on that walk to Jerusalem, on at least two occasions, Christian fought Christian.

The good news is God is Light, absolute Holiness, without taint of evil, and God calls us and aids us to that same state of Holiness, though we will not be fully perfected until our own Resurrection. In the meantime, confession of our "occasions of sin" brings forgiveness and fellowship.
