If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness – 1st John 1:9  – God doesn’t want us to make excuses for our sins nor does He want us to hide our sins, but to come to Him and admit we have sinned against Him or offended someone. When we confess our sins, it brings God’s  healing into our spirit, minds and bodies and it mends broken relationships, and most of all its brings us back to right standing with God.
