Chapter Seven of Pastor Rob's book, "Enjoying the Goodness of God" read by the author. Why do I confess I am the righteousness of God in Christ at the very moment I am sinning? Because I need His grace to overcome the sin! But when even when I fail, I still confess, "I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus." Not because I feel like it, but because it is the truth. I run to Him and I am saved. As a Christian, you do not confess your sin in order to be forgiven. You confess your sin BECAUSE you are forgiven!
