Confession releases us from guilt. Sin that is not dealt with,
has unpleasant consequences
Psalm 32:3 & 5 When I refused to confess my sin, I was weak and
miserable, and I groaned all day long. Finally, I confessed all my
sins to you and stopped trying to hide them. I said to myself, "I
will confess my rebellion to the LORD." And you forgave me! All
my guilt is gone.
When God forgives our sins, He chooses never to hold them
against us again
Colossians 2:14 He cancelled the record that contained the
charges against us. He took it and destroyed it by nailing it to
Christ's cross.
Confession without a change of heart and attitude is empty. This
requires a commitment to change.
Is repentance alone enough to make me a child of God?
John 3:3-5 Jesus replied, ―I tell you the truth, unless you are
born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God. ―What do
you mean?‖ exclaimed Nicodemus. ―How can an old man go
back into his mother‘s womb and be born again?‖ Jesus
replied, ―I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God
without being born of water and the Spirit..
Can a simple change of one’s mind restore mankind’s
relationship with God and cause man to become a pleasure
to His Father God?
If yes: Then I have become a God to myself. I can deal with
my state of sin in my own strength and I don‟t need Christ.
Romans 5:6 When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just
the right time and died for us sinners.
If no: Something else has to take place in man‟s life. Jesus
Christ Himself is the very and only answer.
John 14:6 Jesus told him, ―I am the way, the truth, and the life.
No one can come to the Father except through me
