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
Citizens of the New Kingdom know that the secret formula to freedom is found in a guilt-free life. The only way to peace of mind, contentment of heart, calmness of spirit and stillness of soul is going boldly into the throne room of King Jesus and acknowledging our sins and transgressions.
In this acknowledgement and confession we are not sharing a secret with the omniscient God of the universe. He already knows our sins, he sees all our faults and he is not blinded to our iniquities. Confessing our sins opens up the door of communication with our King. It is an act of worship from creature to Creator. When I confess my sins to God I am telling him that he knows best and that he is the sovereign God.
Citizens of the New Kingdom know that having the guilt of our sins forgiven is one of the most rewarding benefits of redemption. Living in the freedom of forgiveness makes our hearts lighter as the burden of our sins are taken away.
