Confessing Sin to the Glory of God

Stable Christians have the Scriptures as their priority. They have the person of Christ as their focus. And they live for the purpose of glorifying God.

The Bible tells us that one way we glorify God is by confessing our sin. In Joshua 7, Joshua confronted a man named Achan and told him to glorify God and confess his sin. When we confess our sin we agree with God that what we did was a violation of His law. Therefore we recognize His holiness and justice. We magnify God’s perfect character when we confess our sin.

To excuse your sin is to impugn God. It is to attack His character and His standard. When you absolve yourself of responsibility you, in effect, blame God for what happened. That’s what Adam did when he blamed his sin on the woman that God had given him.

We must confess our sin and give God glory.
