4. Why confess my sin? What sin?
Sometimes we think, I never murdered anyone or robbed a store or cheated on my wife, so I’m not really a sinner. But the Bible tells us that we’ve ALL sinned (Isa. 53:6; Rom. 3:9-12; 3:23; 5:12). Sin is anything that is contrary to God’s will. That includes biggies like murder, theft and adultery, but it also includes smaller offenses like gossip, coarse joking, lying, pride, deceit, self-centeredness, law-breaking, rudeness, hurtful words…even after being saved, we still deal with sin (though once we have God’s Spirit in us, he will work to slowly “sanctify” us, making us more like Jesus). (1 John 1:8-10; James 2:10)
Tomorrow's question: How do you know the Bible is true?
