The Right Relationship

Four steps can we take in order to be restored in a right relation with God:

 1. Repent and Confess to God

“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).

To confess means to “agree” with God. I agree that I lied or cheated or was unkind or lost my temper. Be specific as you silently confess your sin to God. Sin takes us off God’s pathway to peace and joy. Confession puts us back on God’s pathway.

 

2. Determine to Forsake Any Known Sin in Your Life

 “He who covers his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy” (Proverbs 28:13).

3. Make Right Any Known Wrongs

It is important not only to confess and forsake sin, but also to make things right with anyone we may have wronged.

 “I strive always to keep my conscience clear before God and man” (Acts 24:16).

4. Renewed Fellowship Will Be the Result

 Your life life will change with God, and others will notice it.“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin” (1 John 1:7).
