How To Confess Sins Of The Flesh. First, we confess to god our sins. When we practice honesty in our fellowship with god, we acknowledge him as righteous and ourselves as unrighteous or flawed.
So we should practice keeping short accounts with him by confessing our sins as soon as we’re made aware of them. However, if we hold secret sins, we should have someone that we can go to in order to confess the secret sins and pray with the person so that they are able to work together with us as an accountability partner. Second, we confess the good.
Confess your sins and fight the devil.
Reading this scripture in the light of ezekiel and other old testament scriptures prophesying of the new covenant, we can see once again that this scripture 1 john 1:9 is in line and it’s talking about unbelievers entering into the new covenant so all. “if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 john 1:9 kjv) many people think this verse is saying that we must continually ask for forgiveness of sins we commit after our moment of belief on christ and after receiving the free gift of salvation through christ, or else they will lose salvation. Therefore, in 1 john 1:9, he doesn’t merely say, “if we confess that we are sinful,” because this might be misunderstood as being synonymous with saying, “if we say we are in the flesh.” instead, he says, “if we confess our sins.” It is there, if we will only take that gift of true “godly sorrow” that leads us to repent (2 corinthians 7:10).
