Let's talk about confession. 
I heard this saying that we need to confess our sins to get forgiven.
But the bible teaches believers to confess because they are forgiven.

John writes,
“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us.”
1 John 1:9

This is God restoring fellowship — not re-saving you.

Hebrews says Christ “offered one sacrifice for sins forever” (Hebrews 10:12).
Forever — not until your next mistake.
Forever — not until your next apology.

Forgiveness is a finished work.
Confession is simply agreeing with God about what happened, not trying to earn a pardon.

When a child tells their father, “I’m sorry,” it doesn’t make them more of a son.
It restores closeness.
The relationship never changed.

Confession becomes healthy when you stop using it as currency and start seeing it as conversation.

You confess from forgiveness, not for forgiveness.
