1 | Confess or ask forgivness of our sins? | 1 John 1:9 | farout | 35107 | ||
My Pastor taught in the morning service that as Belivers we are told to "confess our sins not to ask for forgiveness." Something in my spiritual heart remembered that in the Lords example prayer, Jesus said " forgive us our debts (sins) as we forgive those who have trepessed (sinned) against us." I looked in VINES EXPOSITORY DICTONARY OF THE NEW TESTAMENT ant the word Jesus for FORGIVE (APHIEMI)is a verb and means " the remission of punishment due to sinful conduct". Matt.6:12. The word in 1 John 1:9 is not the same. I am sure our Father sees the intent and not the exact words, because for more than 56 years of my life I have sought forgivness of my sins. I wonder if confession and asking forgivness is not a process? One must admit to something to seek forgivness is what I have assumes all my Born again days. AMY COMMENTS? | ||||||

just confess, all sins past, present and future were taken on the cross. if any of your sins are left unforgiven then you are doomed since you received eternal life at the time of conversion(you would be in an eternally sin containing state) this forgiveness is not based on what we do(works) but solely on the finished work of Christ(grace) I have struggled with this a lot in the past. I might suggest that you locate any books by Bob George or look him up at www.realanswers.net The Grace of God is truly amazing when you grasp the completeness and finality of it. God bless | ||||||
