Do we need to confess our sins as believers?
Should we be sin-conscious? Yes and yes.
False-grace teachers would say that it’s not
necessary to confess sins because there is no sin
in us. God’s grace has eradicated it. Folks, let me
be very, very clear: that is a heretical teaching
that absolutely puts people at risk of hell.
— 1 John 1:8-9—”If we say that we have no 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 cleanse us from all
unrighteousness”
It’s not only critical, but it’s wonderful to live in a
state of continual repentance! God’s love for us
is so amazing, that running away from sin and to
Him is awe inspiring! As we daily allow God to
search our hearts and reveal issues that are
barriers to his love fully impacting us, the
freedom and resulting life is amazing!
I often hear people say that Christians shouldn’t
be sin-conscious. Not only is that not biblical, it
does us a disservice. Ignoring sin doesn’t disarm
it; it empowers it! Allow God to reveal the
darkness and set us free!
— 2 Corinthians 7:1—Since we have these
promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from
all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting
holiness in the fear of God
We must remain diligent regarding sin. As we
grow in grace and knowledge we will have the
strength to remain stable.
— 2 Peter 3:14—”Therefore, beloved, since you are
waiting for these things, be diligent that you may
be found by Him in peace, spotless and
blameless”
— 2 Peter 3:17-18—”You therefore, beloved, since
you know these things beforehand, beware lest
you also fall from your own firm footing, being
led away by the deception of the wicked. But
grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory, both now
and forever. Amen”

Bros, after stealing my goat, you got convicted.. don't just tell Jesus sorry na, return my meat so I'll see your face.

Happy Sunday there.

ok

I dont believe in good and bad, I believe only in right and wrong and the right thing is to do God's will at all times.

I can die for God, I can kill for God. I'm not a holy man, I'm a righteous man. King David is my mentor - ITy, 2010

heee hee

remember not my sins dear Lord

Yea right...

I'm tired already.

I want a list of all the sins, so I'll know where to start from.

Is reproducing (photocopying) a text book without the author's consent not a bad thing to do? That makes it a sin, right?

This religious life is just somehow.

No matter how hard we try, as regards sin, failure is certain.

who do we confess to pls ?


and how do we make this confession ?


i thought we are meant to confess our sin to God while praying

Yes, confession is necessary

my problem is how we are made to believe our sins should go to God through a fellow man, another sinner when God himself has said our very own fate can move mountains.


why do i have to confess to man when my own faith can summon the presence of God?

That's restitution. You can only do that if you've been convicted of your wrong by your own conscience.

let Jah be praised

Staying in the path of God in this age is not an easy task at all. Even the so called MOG stray sometimes, all we need is grace.

If I should confess all my sins to everyone I offended even those I don't know where they live anymore, I will spend the rest of my life looking for these people. It's baseless I think you confess to God and forget the rest.

I never pray without confessing my sins to God.

Exactly. I pray for Grace everyday.

Most times, the things we even do unconsciously are sins, and they're things that we just can't help.

Sin.......Grace...... Forgiveness!

Yes.

Ist n foremost confession of sins is not just for Christians but for all. Two, as children of God, we don't need to confess sins n go back to them, we r made to confess n forsake them completely.

David killed for God and he was (is) the man after God's heart.
Remember that we were told to be violent so that we can take the kingdom of God which has been suffering violence by force. Matt.11:12

There are so many bible accounts where God told some tribes to take up arms and kill others and posses their lands.

Confess my sins to a man
Who is probably a fáģgot?
Nah if God won't hear my confessions directly then he should leave it! I'll pass

U can only confess to God alone, no one else should no about it except GOD . Forget about those who confess to their priest, their problem is igoRANCe

I finally made fp

Let he thar thinks he stand take heed...

Some claim that confessing to a fellow man shouldn't be but we forget so easily the injection of Christ on the apostles that what ever you bound on earth is bound in heaven and whatever you loose on earth is loosed in heaven...
