Guys I know i ve been posting some stuff on the boards, just to let u guys know that I suffer with you and need Christ constantly. This isnt me writing this, its the Holy Spirit. Sometimes I will like reread of what was written and Im like WHOA thats amazing, I should do that! lol...It is not me who lives but Christ, its not my wisdom but God's. God let me learn first.
1Jn 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
a lot of us confess but question what does to confess mean, because some of us feel like we have to start with "forgive me" or "I am sorry" or "Im sorry Father for I have sinned"....so on and so forth......isnt that just fake tho? to come to God with a already made up verse? what does the word CONFESS mean?

God says hey, agree with me that u have done wrong, shed light on this so it no longer is in darkness but that all is brough to light, and repent. Guys lets come to God with our sins and feel good about it and not ohh no i gotta confess again, again it will take me sooo long, noooo, come bring it before God, repent DO IT NO MORE (check out the topic on the Kingdom of God in the main thread board) and get on with ur life praisin JESUS
when the confession of sin is a burden.......remember that we are comming to our Daddy to tell Him that we ve done bad, apologizing. Some1 else was already punished for it tho, Jesus on the Cross. So our job now is to turn to Christ, to Holiness, to repent and live Holy lives.
We are Rightious because of what Christ did, but we lead Holy lives through obeying Christ in our life choices, we are Rightious when we accept Christ and enter His Kingdom but God works on our Holiness all throughout our lives.
