If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9 So many promises in the Bible that fall of it “if-then" pattern. “If" we do this thing, “then" God will do this thing for us. If-then indicates a significant relationship between the two ideas. Each idea is dependent on the other. In this particular case we are promised that, if we confess our sins, that God is faithful to forgive us of those sins. It's a simple matter of just speaking it to Him. It's not that He doesn't already know the sins we've committed. It's just that we have to hear ourselves say it. Sometimes the simple act of confession is enough to truly make us understand what we've done and how we mistreated the Lord, who has given us everything. It's wonderful to know that the God stands ready to hear our confession; we don't have to go in some secret room and perform some secret ritual to be forgiven of our sins. The Bible tells us that if we confess our sins to God, He is quick to forgive them. It's that simple. Father, I thank You that You are just and kind and willing to forgive my sins. I confess to You now all the sins that are in my heart and I pray for Your forgiveness. Help me to realize that I can come to You anytime I need to confess and that You will be faithful to hear me. Amen. KJV Bible
