  4. Confessing Sin (continued) Daniel 9: 1-19 – Did Daniel say “if we have sinned”? Romans 3:23 An acknowledgment that sin exists Proverbs 28:13 1 John 1:8 – “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness”

  5. The Good Confession Confess Jesus as Lord – to acknowledge, normally done with the mouth To confess Jesus as Lord necessary for our salvation – Romans 10:9-10; Acts 8:37; 1 Tim 6:12 That confession cost Jesus His life – Mk 14: 61-62; John 19:7 Peter made a good confession, which Jesus declared to be the rock upon which the church is built – Matt 16: 16-18 Matt 3:16-17 – God made declaration of it Matt 17:5 – at the Transfiguration Phil 2:11- that all men will make

  6. Both meanings of the word “confession” have a deep significance to everyone. To those who become a Christian, it’s a declaration of faith in Jesus as the Christ, and that same confession should be made throughout one’s life. Also ,to a Christian it’s an acknowledgment that one sins. That individual then, with a penitent heart, asks for forgiveness of those transgressions, and we are deeply grateful that the Lord said He will forgive.
