"Acknowledgement + Confession = Forgiveness"


“Acknowledgement + Confession = Forgiveness”

 

Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity.  I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord.”  And you forgave the guilt of my sin.         Psalm 32:5

 

The formula for the FORGIVENESS of our sins is really quite simple.  The first thing that a person needs to do is to be led by the Holy Spirit.  Then when the Spirit brings CONVICTION to the HEART of that person, they need to ACKNOWLEDGE that they are a SINNER, guilty of living a sinful lifestyle, then they need to CONFESS those sins to God, naming them and taking the blame for committing them, and being SORRY for living in such a way. 

 

In 1 John 1:9, we are told that; “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”   Then we have God’s FORGIVENESS and can, with certainty KNOW that we are His Child and will have an ETERNAL HOME in HEAVEN with Him.   Psalm 32:2 says:  “Blessed is the one whose sin the Lord does not count against them and in whose spirit is no deceit.”   When we ACKNOWLEDGE and CONFESS our sins to God, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART, He is FAITHFUL to FORGIVE us of our sins and will PURIFY us from ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.  In other words He will FORGIVE ALL our sins, PAST, PRESENT and FUTURE.  

 

Do you have the ASSURANCE of an ETERNITY in HEAVEN or are you destined for an ETERNITY in HELL, the place of UNENDING torment, torture, heartache, agony, pain and despair, with NO WAY of ESCAPE?   The ONLY way for you to ESCAPE an ETERNITY in HELL, is to follow the formula for FORGIVENESS.    When the Holy Spirit brings conviction into your HEART, then you must ACKNOWLEDGE your sins, and CONFESSS your sins to God asking Him for His FORGIVENESS.  Then BELIEVEVING with ALL your HEART, that Jesus died for YOU, and is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you before God.   Then you MUST ACCEPT God’s gift of SALVATION and GAIN an ETERNITY in HEAVEN.   Do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s waiting and coming SOON!!!
