True Confession
Psalm 51:1-19
It’s not
uncommon to see a lawyer trying to have a confession thrown out on the basis
that is a false confession. It’s the
judge’s responsibility to determine if the confession is admissible for
trial.
In like manner,
not all confession we make to God is admissible to God. The Bible speaks of a godly sorrow and a
worldly sorrow. The former leads to repentance,
but the latter leads to spiritual death.
One of the best
passages of scripture for identifying a true confession is found in Psalm
51. King David confesses his sins of adultery
and murder to God. There are three truths about true confession.
1.
True
confession understands our condition before God (1-6)
2.
True
confession seeks cleansing from God (7-12)
3.
True
confession is confirmed with a transformed life in God (13-19).
