If we confess our sin

"Sin has ruined men, ruined women, ruined angels. Sin has occasioned every tear of sorrow, every sigh of grief, every pang of agony. Sin has withered everything that is fair, blasted everything that is good, made bitter everything that is sweet, dried up springs of comfort, rolled far and wide tides of sorrow. Sin has digged every grave, built every coffin, woven every shroud, enlarged every cemetery that the world has ever seen." (Evangelist Robert G. Lee, Heart to Heart).
It is not a popular topic, but it is so needed. We all struggle daily with sin. And we all need to recognize that sin is the source of most, if not all, of our problems in life. Understanding that "all have sinned" is the first step in becoming a Christian.

But here is the good news, my friend. God wants to forgive your sin. "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins." (1 John 1:9) The psalmist recognized "But there is forgiveness with thee..." (Psalm 130:4)

No matter what sin you may be wrestling with in your life, go to Jesus - there is forgiveness with Him.
