31 Powerful Bible Verses About Repentance and Confession

Forgiveness of Sins

As Christians, we understand that confession of sin is essential in our walk with God.

If you are willing to confess your sin and repent for your mistakes with godly sorrow, God will forgive your trespasses.

The blood of Jesus gave us a path to heaven. If you believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from death and declare with your mouth that "Jesus is Lord," you will be saved.

Transgressions will not prosper in the eyes of Christ Jesus. Anyone who conceals his transgressions lack the conviction of sin.

You can change this by forsaking sin and meditate on God's ways day and night.

The Holy Spirit will convict you when you are wrong (think about your conscience). Keep your faith in hard times and trust God knows your path.

Your goal is to praise God and receive repentance that leads to a changed life. If a person confesses and forsakes their sinful ways, they will draw closer to God.
