Sinopsis
Like it or not, we are all sinful beings. In fact, claiming that we are not essentially makes God a liar. But the good news is that there is forgiveness that comes with confession! Confessing our sins shows God that we know our wrongdoing is serious; not confessing reveals that we think we don’t need His forgiveness. We need to show “godly sorrow” - a grief that comes with knowing that we’ve hurt God’s heart, not a grief that reveals we’re sorry we messed up. If we truly want to lead others to confession, and therefore lead them to Christ, seeing ourselves in their story increases the probability of it being important to us.A Christian who never asks his Heavenly Father for forgiveness of his sins cannot claim to be sensitive to the ways in which they grieve the Father.Forgiveness comes when confession is accompanied by true remorse.Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death
