Coming Clean

If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:8-9 NIV

Sin (an offense against God's law/commands) separates us from Him. (Period!) If we claim to be His children, when we error or commit a sin, we must confess it in order to receive forgiveness. If we continue in sin, because according to the world's standards we feel we haven't, the Bible says the truth is not in us. Romans 3:23 states that ALL have sinned (past tense) and fall short (present tense) of the glory of God. Truth be told, we error in some way, everyday! But the enemy wants us to become desensitized to the instructions God has put in place for us, in that we don't need to confess and repent of the sin.

If you desire a clean slate, God says He will give you one if you come clean with Him. Yes, He already knows what we've done, but God desires to hear from us, yep, fellowship with us.

If you're willing to bear it all, God is willing and ready to forgive you and purify you from every wrong thing you've done. Take a moment to unload those things that's been keeping you from God's best...God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit...He's waiting!!!
