Confession brings God’s forgiveness, healing, and freedom. Confession empties our souls of the burden of sin we have been carrying. What was in the dark has now been brought to light. Our heavy load of sin has been lifted. We can now live in the freedom of God’s grace.


Main Points:

1. Today, we don’t hear much about the importance of confession and repentance of sins. We are taught to place our faith in Jesus and to accept him into our lives, but there is little teaching on repentance.

2. When we truly recognize that we are sinners in need of God’s grace and mercy, there is sorrow that fills our hearts. We experience this heaviness because we now understand we have sinned against God.

3. This sorrow leads us to be willing to not only believe in Jesus as our savior, but also to confess our sins to God, and offer our repentance.


Today’s Scripture Verses:

1 John 1:9 - “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

Proverbs 28:13 - “Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy.”

2 Corinthians 7:10 - “Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret…”
