confession is the outward audioable, verbal release that is formed from within the soul of a person after they have reconized the fact that they have disobeid the will of God and then wanting to repent and turn from that sin. First it is a reconition of sin, it allows us to know and realease it, to restore our relationship back to God, to cause healing spiritually and physically and allows the character of Chrsit to grwo in us. We will begin to drift away from the will of God and life as a christian. We can think that we are living a christian life but we will be lying to ourselves. We can become calous to the things of God and be unfruitful. If we confess our sins we see Gods loving character displayed. His fathfullness and just character gieve us forgiveness and that we are restored back to Him and his cleansing act removes the unrightousness from our soul. Our eternal paymment for the act has been paid by the sacrific of teh one act of Jesus. The forgiveness is our sine being bloted out and not brought out again but the cleansing is the washing away of that sin as if it never occured.

If we a true believer and we are sinning willfully then we are hurting our relationship with God. We are lieing to ourself and we have blinded ourself in thinking that we can live for christ and sin and teh same time. If we willfully contiul to sin then we must reexamin our commitment to Christ, and we do not truthfully realize that He is returning and will judge us for our deeds. If we walk in the light as he is teh light we can have fellowship with Him and our brothers in christ. If we confess our sin, turn from the sine that we are in, hate it, and ask God to frogive us or our sin he is fathfull to forgive us from our sin.

1).First I think that we are hiding sin in our lives. If we have a relationship that is just on the surface then we do not have to let the real self out and we can hide our true thoughts, feelings and wants. We are slo afraid that if we let our real self out (our sin, bad habits ect. ) then no one will like us, so we put on a fake front beleiving that what we are showing is what people want to see and know. If we do not have a real realationship with Christ then we can have a real relationship with our fellow Christians. If we are going to church and trying to have fellowship with christians and we are faking our relationship with Christ then it will be very difficult to have a relatioship with christians. Light and darkness does not mix. we will hide our real self because we do not have the real relationship with christ. 2.)To have that deeper level of relattionship with Christ is to 1.Truly want it. to seek HIs ways for your life, to obey his commandment, and to have a pray life. 3. Pray and a desire to do HIs will. This should bring you to a humbleness to realize that others are just as inportant and we are all God's children.
