Hello Everyone!!!! May you Praise God from Whom all Blessings Flow.
The word confess conveys two distinct meanings. The first is related to the offering of Thanksgiving or Praise to God.
"Indeed it came to pass, when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord, and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the Lord, saying: For He is good, For His mercy endures forever," that the house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud"
2 Chronicles 5:13
"It is good to gives thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High"
Psalm 92:1
"Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us from among the Gentiles, To give thanks to Your Holy Name, to triumph in Your praise"
Psalm 106: 47
The second is that of confession of God's greatness and the confession of sin before God.
"When your people Israel are defeated before an enemy because they have sinned against You, and when they turn back to You and confess Your name, and pray and make supplication to you in the temple, then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of Your people Israel, and bring them back to the land which You gave to their fathers"
1 Kings 8:33-34
"That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus Christ and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation
Romans 10:9-10
Confession is the casting off of sin by acknowledging our transgressions of God's commandments for holy living.
"I acknowledged my sin to You, and my iniquity I have not hidden. I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the Lord", and You forgave the iniquity of my sin"
Psalm 32:5
In closing, the forgiveness of sin is accomplished only one way and that is by the grace and goodness of God.
"If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we CONFESS our sins, HE IS faithful and just to FORGIVE US our SINS and to CLEANSE US from ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS"
1 John 8:8-9
For lo the days are hasting on
By prophets seen of old
When the ever-circling years
Shall come the time foretold
When peace shall come over all the earth
It's ancient splendors fulling
And the whole world would send back the song
which now the angels sing
"Seeing that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weakness, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help us in time of need" (Wow!!! What a Promise)
Hebrews 4: 14-16
Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day
Yours In Christ
