Confession
If we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.
Confession acknowledges the sin within your heart. When you realize the ugliness of your sin, it can feel embarrassing and painful. After all, it’s never easy to look deep into the dark places of your life, to become vulnerable and open yourself to rebuke. But confession is a necessary part of knowing God, receiving forgiveness and freedom from sin, and identifying yourself as a follower of Jesus Christ. God’s supply of forgiveness far exceeds what your sins demand. No matter how many sins you confess or how often you confess them, God promises to forgive you whenever you ask.
