A Confessing Community

Nehemiah 9-10

We are to confess our sin so that we might be restored with God. Nehemiah confessed the sins of God's people, trusting the Lord to respond according to His righteousness and faithfulness. When we confess our sins and trust in Jesus, we have confidence that God responds by providing forgiveness and eternal life with Him. Because all sin is a reproach to God and harms us and others. We confess our sin on a regular basis, knowing and trusting that we are completely forgiven in Christ.
