1Jn1

"If we say we have fellowship with God while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin." v.6-7

To be "in fellowship" with Jesus requires that we walk in the light of confession. God knows our sin! Why does He need our confession? He doesn't! Confession is for us…not Him. If we are going to walk together, we have to agree with what is true. Until we confess our sins, we "deceive ourselves". As long as we are deceiving ourselves, we are not in fellowship with Jesus.

Confession is good medicine. It it the way we receive forgiveness and fellowship with God.
