Faith in Christ

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

God understands where you are today. He knows all about your life and your secrets. We tend to think that it is best to hide our faults because otherwise others will think less of us but God will not think less... he will know of your love more... when you obey… trust… and confess.

Confession is never pretty. It typically does not win any style points. Confession is only heard from the guilty and usually before a judge and judges usually condemn. Has Christ ever condemned you? No, our hearts may… but not our Heavenly Father!

For you and I there is no condemnation in Christ Jesus because we are confident in Christ's faithfulness to forgive all... our sins (Rom. 8:1). For all our sins Christ took to the cross and there nailed forever our guilt, our shame, and our unrighteousness. In Christ you are righteous for you stand by faith and faith in Christ is our salvation (1 John 5:4; 1 Peter 1:9).
