"But if we truly admit that we have sinned, we find God utterly reliable and straightforward-He forgives our sins and makes us thorouighly clean from all that is evil." (1 John 1:9, The New Testament in Modern English, J.B. Phillips).
I was six years old when I knew that I was a sinner as I read the Bible. My parents taught me that everyone has sinned and has fallen short of the glory of God.
The Christian lady who led me in the process to confess my sins, to experience genuine repentance, and receive what Jesus offered me from the cross, occurred on the last day of a daily vacation Bible school I will never forget. We lived in East Lake, a community in the eastern part of Birmingham, Alabama. The day I was saved I became an instant evangelist.
As my sister, Mary Evelyn, and I walked home I told her. When we got home, I told my mother, and when my dad got home from work, I told him.
Then, I visited every family in our neighborhood and shared my salvation experience. I've never stopped telling the greatest story ever told.
Not only do we confess our sins, and we get saved, we must continue to confess our sins to God. I call them "keeping short accounts with God."
God wants you to experience the abundant life that only Jesus provides.
Receive Jesus as your Savior and Lord of your life.
