Truth lives in our hearts, whether it’s good truth or bad truth.
Therefore confess your sins to one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of the righteous is powerful and effective.
James 5:16
Sin locked away in our hearts is like a disease.
We are told to confess our sins to one another. When we do, our hearts and bodies and minds are cleansed by God's grace. By God's mercy, we are healed. By His forgiveness, we are made righteous. By God's continual loving kindness we experience the true power and effectiveness of prayer.
“My memory is nearly gone, but I remember two things: that I am a great sinner, and that Christ is a great Savior.” - - John Newton, author of one of the most beloved hymns of all time, Amazing Grace.
