Confession Of Our Sins
When we confess our sins, it is like planting a
seed that helps forgiveness to grow in our lives.
“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and
will forgive us our sins and purify us from all
unrighteousness, (1 John 1:9-NIV).
Confession is like an eraser on a pencil. When we
make a mistake in writing, we use the eraser to
take out that mistake.
When we confess to God, He erases our sins. We
start anew. God erases everything not just a few
things.
We don’t take confessing our sins likely. It is not
an occasional event in our lives. It is a continuing/
ongoing lifestyle. We have to daily confess our sins
to the Lord.
When we confess our sins, we agree that we have
sinned. Confessing our sins is agreeing with God as
a witness against ourselves. What God has to say
about our sins we agree with Him.
We also respond to our sins the same way God responds
to them. We know we have transgressed and they will
always be before us. “These transgressions are against
you Lord and only you have the right to judge and forgive
us of these sins/transgressions.”
