"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)
Our sin separates us from God. Even for those in Christ, sin hinders our fellowship with Him. The word "confess" comes from the Greek word, "homologeo," meaning to say the same thing. When we confess, we say the same thing that God says (in His Word)...that what we did is sin. If we confess our sins (sins of commission and sins of omission), He will forgive us, cleanse us, and restore us to Him. This is a beautiful promise of God.

FORGIVEN by Sanctus Real Well the past is playing with my head And failure knocks me down again I’m reminded of the wrong That I have said and done And that devil just won't let me forget
In this life I know what I’ve been But here in Your arms I know what I am [chorus]
I’m forgiven I’m forgiven And I don’t have to carry The weight of who I’ve been Cause I’m forgiven
My mistakes are running through my mind And I’ll relive my days, in the middle of the night When I struggle with my pain, wrestle with my pride Sometimes I feel alone, and I cry
In this life I know what I’ve been But here in Your arms I know what I am [back to chorus]
When I don't fit in and I don’t feel like I belong anywhere When I don’t measure up to much in this life Oh, I’m a treasure in the arms of Christ 'cause [back to chorus]
Praise the Lord! We are forgiven. Don't listen to Satan's lies. Cling to God's truths. "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 "Therefore, my brothers, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. Through Him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the law of Moses." Acts 13:38-39 "In Him (Jesus Christ) we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding." Ephesians 1:7-8 "Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered." Psalm 32:1
