Eve points to the serpent. Confession draws us out of hiding. We reveal ourselves to God. H knows our hearts before we speak, but confession admits it to God. We have sinned against you by through, word, and deed.
Confession is a kind of death.
We die to our self-delusion that we can cover our sins and hide from God. Yes, I m a sinner. Please help me for the sake of your Son Jesus. You may be wondering what happened when my parents found out that I cut the sewing machine cord. That s something I ll never forget.
