CONFESSING SIN

Some people think once they become a Christian they will not sin anymore. But Christians do sin because they are not perfect. This does not mean they must be saved all over again. Jesus didn't say, "Ye must be born again and again and again."

Sin in the life of the believer breaks fellowship but does not destroy sonship. Because of our sin nature received from Adam, the evil environment of the world, and the temptation of Satan, even heaven-bound Christians end up sinning. However, born again Christians don't want to sin as they did before. 

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

We often struggle with sin. We excuse ourselves, rationalize our sinfulness, and defend ourselves. To restore fellowship with God, we must confess specific sins.

Whether omission, commission, body or mind sins; God will show mercy to those who confess their sins.
