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:
Behavioral psychologists and Freudian psychiatrists are always talking about getting rid of your guilt complexes. They say man has all of these desires within him, and he's been held in by blocked memories, and they squeeze him in. They say if he represses himself, he will come up with a neurosis and a psychosis. And so they say, “Express yourself. Live it up! Do your thing, and whatever feels good to you, whatever is meaningful to you, express yourself.”
They claim the opposite of repression is expression. No friend. Let me tell you, it is not repression, and it is not expression—it is confession.
ACTION POINT:
The Bible says in 1 John 1:7, “… the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.” And Romans 5:20 says, “… but where sin abounded, grace did much more abound.”
