Leviticus 26:40
Leviticus 26:40
But if they confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me.
Confession is an essential part of repentance. When we come before God and confess our sins, including the sins we have inherited from our ancestors, we are acknowledging our need for His forgiveness. Confession is not merely an admission of wrongdoing but a call to receive God’s mercy. It’s an act of humility and surrender, recognizing that without God’s grace, we are lost. God’s desire is for us to bring our sins to Him with sincerity, knowing that He is faithful to forgive. He does not condemn us, but rather, He offers forgiveness and cleansing. True confession is not just about saying the words; it’s about a heart that is willing to be changed. When we confess our sins, we are not just admitting guilt; we are stepping into the light of God’s grace, trusting in His mercy to cleanse and restore us.
Psalms 51:4
Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight.
Romans 10:10
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Luke 15:21
I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
Psalms 51:17
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
