How to Confess Sin: What 1 John 1:9 Teaches Us

EPISODE 111

Confession can be one part of prayer we'd rather avoid, but Scripture shows us we don't have to hide our sin from a God who already knows us completely. In this episode of SPICE Up Your Prayer Life, we're exploring what biblical confession looks like, how confession and repentance work together, and why we can come before God honestly and confidently.

Through 1 John 1:9, we'll see that confession isn't about cleaning ourselves up or remaining stuck in guilt. We bring our sin into the light, agree with God about what is true, turn toward Him, and trust His promise to forgive and cleanse us through Christ.
