Bible Snack #9

"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).
​
There’s a dictum that says, “Pride dies fifteen minutes after the body.” Humans have a hard time saying “I’m sorry.” We seem to have the attitude that God is an understanding Father and therefore it’s not necessary to “confess our sins.” Knowing this to be a big step for us, God outlines the benefits of telling Him we missed the mark. Not only does He forgive our sins, but He cleanses us from all unrighteousness. That means He washes off every taint the devil has placed on our lives through his attacks. Of course Satan only had the right to attack because we were off in the darkness somewhere instead of walking in the light with God. Even so, God cleans up whatever mess the devil created while we were in our sin. I think for that I can overcome pride and confess the errors of my ways. All I can say is Yay for God! Hurrah!
