CONFESSION IS GOOD FOR YOU

We’ve all heard the old saying, "Confession is good for the soul." Even in non-Christian and non-spiritual circles, people believe that to be true. Psychologists or psychiatrists would say that when we confess our wrong actions, words, and thoughts, it’s like a burden is lifted off of us.

Christians know that’s true. John writes in his first letter, chapter 1, verse 9, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” The burden of sin IS lifted when we confess our sins.
