“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” “We have sinned, even as our fathers did; we have done wrong and acted wickedly.” “Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.” “Cleanse me with hyssop and I will be clean; wash me and I will be whiter than snow.”
The world had sinned and wed know the decree of our unfaithful past, our former wickedness. As we know of what this relationship means it is not wise to point to Adam and Eve again but it is important to know the One who died and suffered for our sins. The mockery he received, the lashes he bore were all for our sake, not for others. The Ten Commandments were given to live in the order of the word and for us to fulfill it Christ had to shed his blood on the cross. The desire will only mean much when our desire for God is true. For sin only adds to our guilt and as the knowledge of the covenant is in us it is important to confess our sins when we sin. The patriarch David confessed, Isaiah confessed and so must we. The core issue of this sacred contents are not to promote sin but to put an end to every evil as we build up our relationship with each other and with God. The guilt comes only when we sin but when we don’t we begin to enjoy every relationship. The joy of it comes only in love, faithfulness and in the deep truths of God’s word. The truth of what this means is that love is a mission, prayer our duty and we find complete satisfaction in love only when we love completely. For as the intimacy is, so must the confessions be. The desire to love God must come first, next with each other and everyone we love. The tears of confession will only come from those who knows God. The Church must know that confession brings renewal, restoration and deeper intimacy. The powers of it are in the word. ( 1st John 1:9 ) ( Psalm 106:6 ) ( Psalm 51:2 ) ( 51:7 ) Ambrose.J.Chakre
