Why Christians Confess Sin

Why would Christians intentionally admit the worst things they've done? If God already knows everything, why do we need to confess anything? And if Jesus has already forgiven us, are we just supposed to keep feeling guilty?

In this episode of Church Folks, we explore why confession is actually one of the most freeing practices in the Christian life. Walking through 1 John 1:5–2:2, along with the words of David in Psalm 32, we discover that confession isn't about earning God's forgiveness or living under constant shame.

It's about stepping out of the darkness and into the light.

Christians don't confess sin because we love guilt.

We confess because forgiveness is real.
