Freedom Through Radical Honesty
When we think of confession, we often assume it’s about informing God of our mistakes, as if He’s unaware of them. But that’s impossible! God knows everything, and confession is not about pointing fingers at others or ourselves. It’s about embracing a radical reliance on His grace and trusting in His goodness.
The Power of Acknowledgment
Scripture reminds us that denying our sinfulness is a form of self-deception (John 1:8-9). When we confess our sins, we open ourselves up to forgiveness and cleansing. It’s not about revealing new information to God, but about agreeing with Him on our mistakes. This acknowledgment allows us to experience the liberating power of grace.
The Freedom of Confessors
Those who confess their sins find a freedom that eludes those who deny them. By acknowledging our mistakes, we can let go of the weight of guilt and shame. As we trust God to do what is right, we can experience the refreshing waters of His grace washing over us.
A Call to Radical Honesty
So, take a step towards freedom today. Tell God what you’ve done, not because He doesn’t already know, but because you need to acknowledge it together. Let go of your fears and doubts, and let the pure water of grace flow over your mistakes. Embrace the radical reliance on God’s goodness, and discover the freedom that comes with it.
