FAITHFUL TO FORGIVE

"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

God is faithful to forgive, this means, God didn't find out about the sin when you confessed it because He knew about it all the time (before and after the sin). When you confessed it was when you got rid of it, that's when you were cleansed of its effects in your life. When you make a mistake or go off track, remember, you have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous (1 John 2:1). Always run to Him. He knows what you are going through, you don't need to be afraid. He didn't tear you apart for the sins you committed before you made Him Lord of your life, did He? Then how much more merciful and loving do you think He'll be now that you're His own? 

Don't run from God rather run to Him. No matter how badly you've sinned, He's eager to hear from you. When we go before the Father to confess our sins, our failures and weaknesses, we are admitting that we are human and in need of forgiveness. True confession is painful, but when we do, "He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." God is a good God but please don't take Him for a ride.
