Every day I was with you in the temple courts, and you did not lay a hand on me. But this is your hour--when darkness reigns. ---Luke 22:53
Denying the fact of sin will bring all the troubles of life. You may talk about the dignity of human nature, but there is something in human nature laughing in the face of your ideals. If you don’t confess the sin, selfness of human nature and to have the fundamental of sins, once something hit you, you will compromise and any resistance doesn’t work. Do you prepare to face this moment, this dark power? Or do you think of yourself in a way that doesn’t take the sin into account? Do you, in relation to relatives, in relation to friends, acknowledge the fact of guilt? If not, it won’t be long that you will be caught by sins and compromise. But if you confess the fact of sin, you are immediately aware of the danger. “By the way, I know what this is about.”
Admitting the truth of sins doesn’t destroy the foundation of friendship, but makes it clear to see each other that life is basically hateful. We must always be on guard against any philosophy denying the existence of sin. Although Jesus Christ distrusts human, he is not critical or suspicious because he believes in doing something. People are protected by the cleanliness, not innocence. It is not for man to be sinless, but for God asking for goodness and cleanness. Innocence is characteristic of children, but adults must confess the sin.
Dear God, drown me in your grace and glory, and let your vast tide cover all.
Confess the fact of sin
