- Sin is the barrier to our relationship with God.
- Jesus removes the barrier of sin from our lives so that we can have a relationship with God both positionally and relationally.
- Confession removes the barriers to our relationship with God and helps us to hear His voice more clearly.
- Confession is that point when my mouth gives voice to what my heart knows to be true about my sin, no matter what the reason or cause, and without excuse. Genuine confession and repentance allows the soul to be most receptive to abundant, divine forgiveness.
