Confession of Sins

Psalm 32:1-7New International Version (NIV)

Psalm 32

Of David. A maskil.[a]

Blessed is the one
    whose transgressions are forgiven,
    whose sins are covered.
Blessed is the one
    whose sin the Lord does not count against them
    and in whose spirit is no deceit.
When I kept silent,
    my bones wasted away
    through my groaning all day long.
For day and night
    your hand was heavy on me;
my strength was sapped
    as in the heat of summer.[b]
Then I acknowledged my sin to you
    and did not cover up my iniquity.
I said, “I will confess
    my transgressions to the Lord.”
And you forgave
    the guilt of my sin.


Therefore let all the faithful pray to you
    while you may be found;
surely the rising of the mighty waters
    will not reach them.
You are my hiding place;
    you will protect me from trouble
    and surround me with songs of deliverance.

-Why pray for forgiveness? Isn't it already ours? 

-2 ways of religion 
         -legal way of religion
               -means going to Heaven or Hell

         -Relationship way of religion
                -Sin will affect the relationship outlook. 
                -Eph. 4:30 -" And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption."


-Real spiritual meaning of marriage is to understand the relationship with God and church.

-God sees us as a righteous person in Him after we ask for forgiveness.

-"We are blessed because of what He did at the cross, Not because we have thing."

-Jer. 6:15 -
         "Are they ashamed of their detestable conduct?
    No, they have no shame at all;
    they do not even know how to blush.
So they will fall among the fallen;
    they will be brought down when I punish them,”
says the Lord."

-There is a healthy shame and guilt.
          -Scared to confess sin but needs to run to God and confess sin anyway, not away from Him. Makes it easier because God understands.


               -Matthew 6:12 - "And forgive us our debts as we also have forgiven our         debtors."

-Jesus is our True High Priest so yes we have to confess to Him. A priest.


-1 Peter 2:9 - "But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession,that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light."


-Sin could have consequences.
          -Teach me through the consequences so I can use them for you.
