Confession - Nehemiah 9

What happens, when through the study of the Word, we realized that we have sinned against God? There must be a time of confession. In the sermon listed, the people of God are awakened to their sin by the mercy of God. They have read the Scriptures, they have realized their sin, and now they make confession to God. As Christians we are forgiven, but as we walk through this world, we find at times that we have sinned. What should we do? As a people we should have a time of earnest confession.
