“But if we confess our sins to Him,He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness”.
1John 1:9
If we want to maintain a continual fellowship with God,we need to confess our sins to Him.Forgiveness and cleansing are guaranteed because God is faithful to His promises and HE acts on the basis of His justice. Christ’s death on the cross fulfilled God’s justice and freed us of our guilt.
- We need to allow God to search our heart
Psalms51:10″ Create in me a clean heart. O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me”. - And also spend time with God. we must always have our foundation on the rock, Jesus and His words. That is why Paul says in 1 Thessalonians 5:17“Never stop praying”.
Meditate on the word daily and ask God what He wants to reveal to us and transform us. If He reminds us of one sin immediately repent and confess ,and have victory over that sin. If Jesus showed us many sins, don’t be disappointed. Ask for pardon. He will help you.
Isaiah1:18“Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, I will make them as white as wool”.
Christ like transformation is a continuous process for our growth throughout our life. It will not occur immediately.
Without God's revelation we cannot change. He has to open our eyes, ears and mindJeremiah17:9,10 says” The human heart is the most deceitful of all things., and desperately wicked. who really knows how bad it is?”
“But, I the Lord, search all hearts and examine secret motives. I give all people their due rewards, according to what their actions deserve”.
