Growing up I always heard that confession is good for the soul,but most folks just don’t get it or they just don’t understand the burdens,and weight that are lifted off of your shoulders,and liberates the soul,body and spirit. Confession is an admission of all the evil and wrong things you did,against God,to whom we must confess. However,confession is good,because,God says it’s good,and He list the rewards of confession: Let me start with 1 John 1:9 which says ” If we confess our sins,He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins,and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness”. Then 2 Chronicles 7:14 says it this way,”If my people,which are called by my name,shall humble themselves,and pray,and seek my face,and turn from their wicked ways;then will I hear from heaven,and will forgive their sin,and will heal their land” . King David,an expert on confession,says this,” I acknowledged my sin unto thee,and mine iniquity have I not hidden. I said,I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord,and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin”.(Psalms 32:5). Yes confession is good for the soul,and Proverbs 28:13 warns us,” He that covereth his sins shall not prosper,but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy”. Don’t you want mercy? Don’t you want to be forgiven? God says in Isaiah 43:25,” I,even I,am He that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine iwn sake,and will not remember thy sins”. That’s a deal if a lifetime,then in Isaiah 55:6&7,God says,”Seek ye the Lord while He may be found,call ye upon Him while He is near;let the wicked forsake his way,and the unrighteous man his thoughts;and let him return unto the Lord,and He will have mercy upon him;and to our God,for He will abundantly pardon”. Are you seeing,hearing,and understanding the rewards that comes with God’s forgiveness,doyou want to give them away,or ignore them? When all it takes is confession. Jeremiah 3:13 states,” Only acknowledge thine iniquity,that thou hast transgressed against the Lord thy God,and has scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree,and ye have not obeyed my voice,saith the Lord”. Let us search and try our ways,and turn again to the Lord, according to Lamentations 3:40. However,Ezekiel 18:21 says,”But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed,and keep all my statutes,and do that which is lawful and right,he shall surely live,he shall not die”. God does not lie,and His word is established out of the mouth of two or three witnesses,[2 Corinthians 13:1].Which brings me to Romans 10:9&10 “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead,thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness;and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation”. It is so simple ladies,gentlemen,boys and girls,God loves us so much,He gave His only Son as a ransom for us. God did His part,now it’s time for you to do yours.
