We will not examine these in this article, but we strongly suggest that you open your Bible and read each one, noting the circumstances under which each confession was made, and if the person was sincere in confessing his wrong.

Sin is the most awful thing in the world.
It is the most serious problem that is faced in every nation on the planet. Sin is not new to this generation. It has been in the world since the time of Adam and Eve. When people sin, they have different reactions to what they have done. Some are unconcerned that they have sinned, while others are made very sad by their sins.
