God has given us a conscience. It tells us when we have done wrong. God made us that way not to feel guilty all the time. Conscience calls us to confession. God will forgive all our sins. Confession of sin is simply agreeing with God. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).
Christ died for all of our sins. When we confess our sins to God, we are forgiven. The Bible teaches that God cleanses us upon confession of our sins. We are made clean before God through Jesus Christ. The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin (1 John 1:7).
Why do some people refuse to confess their sins to God and receive cleansing through Christ? There are at least two reasons. First, they don't know the good news in Christ. Secondly, they don't really believe the good news. The believer's confession of sin brings immediate cleansing through Christ. We can have a clean conscience today.
Do you have a sin from the past that makes you feel guilty? Confess it to God. Believe the promise of His word. God will forgive your sins. God will cleanse you from all sin. That's the reason Jesus died for all our sins. God will forgive you through Jesus Christ.
