Our world is filled with secrets. Leaders have misdeeds carefully hidden away from public view. Many weave elaborate lies to prevent people from discovering what they have done. Every time the media heralds a new scandal society is shocked by another fallen leader who tried to camouflage his sins. Scripture is clear. Our sins will be found out. It is far better to confess them and to renounce them than to deny them and try to hide them.
Some people squander years of their life covering their lies and living in fear of being exposed. They may be leaders but they are living in bondage. It is far better to heed Scripture’s advice and immediately confess and renounce our sins. Lying about or hiding our transgressions only compounds the problem. It piles one sin on top of another until they collapse on our head.
While confession can appear to be too painful and awkward to endure, it is actually the road to freedom. It takes us out of darkness and back into the light. It removes the burden of deception and lies. It sets us free from the fear of being exposed. It is the pathway to life. If you have been burdened by sin in your life, choose the path to freedom and confess and forsake your sin, today.
