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. #Bible
Why wouldn't we confess our sins? Although we don't sometimes, for whatever motivation. God gave us a heart full of conscience and conviction. I believe to help us to free ourselves from the shame and quilt of our sins.
Like David we are ashamed to come to God. David found the relief that came when the Prophet Nathan confronted him. It was wonderful when David finally confessed his sin, and David was once again right with God. Though the consequences of his sin was reality in his life.
Confessing our sins quickly is to say to God that we desire to Please Him, and that is perfect obedience, and that obedience is how we say to our God that we love Him. Don't hold on to your sins, it's horrible. Live in the Joy of the Lord.
