Principle 4:

Openly examine and confess my faults to myself, to God, and to someone I trust.

 

“Happy are the pure in heart.”
Matthew 5:8a (TEV)

 

Step 5:

We admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.

 

Therefore confess our sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.
James 5:16a (NIV)

​

Why admit my wrongs?

 

      1. We lose our sense of ________________________________________________ .

 

      2. We will begin to lose our unwillingness to _______________________________ .

 

      3. We will lose our inflated, false _________________________________________ .

​

      4. We lose our sense of _________________________________________________

 

Three reasons or benefits for admitting all your wrongs and your sins to another are:

 

      1. We gain the _____________________________________ that the Bible promises!

 

      2. We gain ________________________________________!

          Then they cried to the Lord in their troubles, and he rescued them!
        (Psalm 107:13 LB)

 

      3. We gain _______________________________________!

          If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.                                   (1 John 1:9 NIV)
