Nov 19 ~ KNOWING THE GOD WHO HEARS:  IS YOUR CONFESSION FROM YOUR LIPS OR FROM YOUR HEART?

I John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

As Acts 2:38 reveals to us, the Lord desires more than lip service.  He desires action to follow true confession and godly sorrow.  Psalms 62:8 says, “Trust in Him at all times: ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us.”  As we confess our sins, open our hearts before Him, and trust Him to be our refuge, I John 2:2 assures us that, “He is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the  whole world.”  JESUS is the ONLY satisfactory sin- substitute!!
