The Need To Confess Sin
In book of Isaiah we were able to witness what the prophet Isaiah experience when he saw God and witnessed his. The Prophet Isaiah became aware of the contrast between God’s holiness and his own sinfulness.

Read Isaiah 6:4-6 then complete the sentence.
When Isaiah experienced the Lord’sglory, he __________________________ his sin.

When you approach God’s throne and become aware of His presence, your personal sin confronts you and weighs heavy on your mind. After such a divine confrontation it is appropriate to confess your sin. In confession you let God examine your heart, and He shows you what separates you from Him- the barriers that keep you from experiencing Him to the fullest. Full fellowship with the Father is blocked if your life contains unconfessed sin.

Read 1 John 1:8-10
According to the passage of scripture why do we need to confess sin in our lives? Check one.
__the Father will forgive you and cleanse you.
__You deceive yourself and do not live in the truth if you claim to be above sin.

The father wants you to confess sin so that He can do what He has promisbegined to do. You fool only yourself when you claim to be sinless.
