GOD forgives all sin Hebrews 9:14,*
If your worried about committing blaspheme of the HOLY SPIRIT, than you haven"t!
Thiugh you know Christ, you maybelieve thatyou have to work hard to make yourself good enough for GOD. But rules & rituals have never cleansed people's hearts. By JESUS' blood alone
(1) We have our consciences cleansed,
(2) We are freed from death's sting & can live to serve GOD, &
(3) We are freed from sins power.
If you are carrying a load of guilt 'cause you are finding that you can't be good enough for GOD take another look atJESUS' death & what it meant for you. CHRIST can heal your conscience & deliever you from the frustration of trying to earn GOD's favor.
When the people sacrificed animal, GOD considered the people's faith & obedience, cleansed them from sin, & made them "ceremonially" acceptable according to old tesyament law. But CHRIST's sacrifice transforms our lives & hearts & makes us clean on the inside. HIS sacrifice is intimitely more effective than animal sacrifices. No barrier of sin or weakness on our part can stifle HIS forgiveness.
I John 1:9, If GOD has forgiven us for our sins 'cause of CHRIST's death, why must we confess our sins? In admitting our sins & recieving CHRIST's cleasning. We are; (1) Agreeing with GOD that our sin truly is sin & that we are willing to turn from it, (2) ensuring that we don't conceal our sins from HIM & consequently from ourselves, & (3) recongnize our tendency to sin & relying on His power to overcome it.
Confession is supposed to free us to enjoy fellowship with CHRIST. It should ease our conscience & lighten our cares.
True confession involves a commitment not to continue in sin.
