From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible emphasizes the seriousness of sin and the necessity of confession. Sin separates humanity from God, corrupts creation, and brings death. Yet God provides a path of restoration through confession and forgiveness. In the Old Testament, confession was tied to sacrifices and offerings. In the New Testament, confession centers on Christ, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.

Understanding the nature of sin and the role of confession reveals the depth of human need and the greatness of God’s mercy.
