Come to the Light

It's not enough to say, "God, I've sinned today many times, please forgive me."  Instead, we confess all known sins.  It would be impossible to confess every sin.  When we confess our known sins, God is faithful and just to forgive all our sins, known or otherwise.  He keeps His promises without compromising His justice or righteous requirements punishing sin.  This is possible because Jesus satisfied His demands.

God forgives us.  He releases us from our debt.  He does so because Jesus took our guilt upon Himself and shed His blood for us on the cross.  God also cleanses us.  He makes us morally pure.  The cleansing we are given every day is accomplished through Jesus' blood.  Notice, too, that the verse tells us that God will not only cleanse us from the sins we confess but from all unrighteousness.  Every shred of darkness and gloom dissipates and is removed from us when we confess.  We may now enter the sphere of God's glorious light! We may come to the light!
