It has kept people in fear and bondage - the belief that confessing individual sins is needed to receive a renewed forgiveness from God, or to maintain fellowship with Him. It weakens the truth in our minds that the blood of Jesus Christ brought forgiveness by taking away the sin of the world, once and for all. This week we discuss some thoughts in common sense fashion regarding our position in Christ, and why as believers we should recede from this practice of confessing sins when it comes to seeking forgiveness from God. As a new creation, your confession can focus on your identity in Him as being a righteous and holy child of God.
