“He who covers his transgressions will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes his sins will obtain mercy.” -Proverbs 28:13 AMPC
We serve a faithful God. He is faithful to forgive us of our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness when we confess our sins (I John 1:9). There are no perfect people. The only perfect person to walk the earth was Jesus Christ Himself. God knows that we will sometimes miss the mark, and He will forgive us when we do. Many Christians make a mistake by trying to hide our sins instead of confessing them and turning their back on them. Sin is a destroyer. The Bible tells us that sin's wages are death (Romans 6:23). God has given us the victory over sin, and sin does not have to have dominion over us. God’s mercy is new every morning, but we should not frustrate the grace of God. We should endeavor to look more and more like Christ. As we do, we will sin less and less. The price of sin is too high a price to pay. Jesus has already paid it all so we can be free from sin. Our appreciation for His sacrifice should cause us to forsake sin and embrace His Righteousness.
