Lesson 12: CONFESS
Principle 4:
Openly examine and confess my hurts, hang-ups, and habits to myself, to God, and to someone I trust.
Blesse are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Matthew 5:8 (NIV)
Step 5:
We admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our hurt, hang-ups, and habits.
Therefore, confess our sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.
James 5:16a (NIV)
C - CONFESS your shortcomings, resentments and sins
He who conceals his sins does not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy.
Proverbs 28:13 (NIV)
O - OBEY God’s directions
“As surely as I am the living God,” says the Lord, “everyone will kneel before me, and everyone will confess that I am God!”
Everyone of us then, will have to give an account of himself to God.
Romans 14:11–12 (GNB)
N - NO more guilt
All have sinned; . . . yet now God declares us “not guilty” . . . if we trust in Jesus Christ, who . . . freely takes away our sins. Romans 3:23–24 (LB)
F - FACE the truth
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
John 8:32 (NIV)
E - EASE the pain
There was a time when I wouldn’t admit what a sinner I was. But my dishonesty made me miserable and filled my days with frustration...My strength evaporated like water on a sunny day until I finally admitted all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide them. I said to myself, “I will confess them to the Lord.” And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone.
Psalm 32:3–5 (LB)
S - STOP the blame
Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and fail to notice the plank in your own? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me get the speck out of your eye,’ when there is a plank in your own? . . . Take the plank out of your own eye first, and then you can see clearly enough to remove your brother’s speck of dust.
Matthew 7:3–5 (PH)
S - START accepting God’s forgiveness
For God was in Christ, restoring the world to himself, no longer counting men’s sins against them but blotting them out.
2 Corinthians 5:19a (LB)
