Confessions of Sin

Prov. 28:13

I: Covered and unconfessed sin:
1. Covered sin keeps us rid of God.
2. Unconfessed sin keeps us from mercy.
3. There is no promise of who is the one that covers sin.

II: Confessing but not worshiping.
1. Pharoah the hardened sinner: “I have sinned.” Exodus 9:27

2. Balaam the double minded: “I have sinned.” Numbers 22:34
3. Doubtful confession of Achan: “I have sinned.” Josh 7:20
4. Confession of dispair: Judas. Matthew 27:4

III: Confessions and forsaking.
1. The prodical son. “I have sinned.” Luke 15:18
2. The Samaritan woman.
3. Saul or Paul.

The soul that refuses to confess and turn from his sin will not find mercy at the judgment seat of God.
