Receiving God’s mercy and kindness.
“If you hide your sins,
you will not succeed. If you confess and reject them, you will receive mercy.” (Proverbs 28:13 ncv)
“God, be merciful to me
because you are loving. Because you are always ready to be merciful, wipe out
all my wrongs. Wash away all my guilt and make me clean again.” (Psalm 51:1–2 ncv)
Restored relationships.
“For if while we were
enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that
we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. More than that, we also
rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received
reconciliation.” (Romans 5:10–11 esv)
Recognizing God’s power
on display.
“Many of the believers
began to confess openly and tell all the evil things they had done . . . So in a powerful way the word of the Lord kept
spreading and growing.” (Acts 19:18, 20 ncv)
