Confession is the Beginning of Cleansing

James 5:16
"Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much."

We cannot grow in holiness as long as we refuse to admit our sin. God will not move us forward if we hold stubbornness in our hearts.

Often we miss blessings that God has for us because we will not humble ourselves.

James 4:10
"Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up."

1 John 1:9

"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
