Confess
To confess can mean to admit a wrong or to agree that something is right. In our relationship with God, both must happen. We must confess our sin, that we have done wrong. And we must also confess that Jesus Christ is God's Son, that he died for our sin, came back to life and is now in heaven with God. God has promised that if a person unashamedly admits, or confesses , the truth of Jesus Christ, then God will forgive his or her sins.

Because we're human, we will continue to sin; therefore, the only way to keep a clean slate with God is to continue to confess our sins. Then, while we work at changing our actions, he'll work at changing our hearts.

When sin is confessed to God, he will forgive the sinner.
