Have you ever wondered..
- If God could ever forgive your sin?
- Why you should confess?
Read: Psalm 32:5; James 5:16
Thirty thousand runners. Twenty-six miles. Thirteen water stations. Two onlympic marathon - a colossal challenge that dares runners to attempt its course. The Christian life is like a marathon. It is a lifelong, often grueling race for which we train, sweat, and persevere. We condition ourselves to prepare for the race. We find ourselves running among countless other runners with the same goal in mind: complete the race.
But not everyone makes it to the finish line. Some runners allow sin to bigin piling up on their backs, slowing their strides until they eventually collapse on the curb. The course is difficult enough without having to carry around the heavy burden of unconfessed sin.
Confession is the only way to unload it from your back. God is watching and waiting for you at the finish line. He wants to see you run across it free of injury. There is no sin that won't forgive. Can you hear Him calling your name>
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 1:8-9)
