Hidden sin creates barriers between us and God, leading to spiritual, emotional, and physical burdens. True transformation requires both confession to God and genuine repentance - acknowledging sin and actively turning away from it. While we can confess directly to God through prayer, sharing with fellow believers provides valuable accountability and support. The closer we draw to God's holiness, the more clearly we recognize our own need for spiritual cleansing and transformation.  (Delivered by Steve Coots on 3-26-2025)
