Title: Acknowledge Sin
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. – James 5:16
There are many layers to confessing sin, but I have two layers I focus too. One deals with the verse that we see today. It says to confess to one another, so we let someone who does not know our sin what our sin(s) are. Then the helping prayers and healing begin.
The other layer of confessing is to God, which turns into acknowledging my sin with God. It’s not a confession of guilt or shame, but I agree with God that what I did is a sin. I can’t hide anything from Him; He knows everything, but I can agree with Him and ask for forgiveness of the agreed-upon sin.
” If we confess our sin, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse from all unrighteousness” 1 John 1:9
Real Men Confess to one another and God.
