--READY TO MAKE AN HONEST CONFESSION?
==BIBLE MEDITATION:-“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)--DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:-What does it mean to “confess your sins”? It
doesn’t mean to simply admit your sin. There are a lot of people who have admitted their sins, who have never confessed their sins.
I’ve spoken to people many times and asked, “Do you know that you’re a sinner?” And they respond, “Yes, I know. We’ve all sinned.” But those people aren’t confessing; all they’re doing is admitting. There is a difference.
The word “confess” is a compilation of two words, “con” and “fess,” which mean “to agree with.” To confess your sins is “to say with” God what God says about them.
--ACTION POINT:As you go before the Lord in prayer today, rather than just admitting you’ve sinned, agree with God about your sin. Then ask for His grace to overcome.

-HOW TO BECOME A CHRISTIAN~~
-THERE IS ALWAYS ROOM FOR PERSONAL IMPROVEMENT, but our efforts can take us only so far. In fact, there's just one thing that can transform us into a masterpiece--a relationship with Jesus Christ.
The story of God and humankind begins with a broken relationship. When sin entered the human race, it severed our communion--our unhindered connection--with the holy God. And today, our personal sins continue to be a barrier between us and Him. But the Bible tells us that
"God is love" (1 John 4:8). In fact, He loves us so much that He sent His Son to reconcile us to Himself. On the Cross, Jesus defeated sin and then rose from the grave, triumphing over death
(Colossians 1:19-22).
By choosing to live in relationship with Jesus Christ, we're no longer slaves to the way of life that ends in spiritual death--eternal separation from God and His lovingkindness. Through Him alone, we can experience freedom and joy. But to saved, we must confess from our heart that Jesus is Lord, believing that He rose from the dead and is alive today (Romans 10:9-10).
You can have eternal life now by asking Jesus to become your Savior. Pray a prayer like this or use your own words:
'Lord Jesus, I believe You died so that I might be accepted as a child of God. Please forgive me, help me turn from my sins, and show me how to follow You each and every day. Thank You for saving me and giving me eternal life. Amen.
