Presentation transcript:

The Art of Confession Psalm 51

Appeal to God’s Mercy & Love Noting how God’s love endures – vs. 1 And that pardon comes not from our merit, but from the mercies of the Lord! – Titus 3:4- 7 Remember the Pharisee and tax collector – Luke 18:9-14

Acknowledge Our Sinful State David no longer tries to hide his sin – vs. 3-4 Realizing it was really God he had sinned against – Acts 5:1-4 This is how we receive His grace – 1 John 1:6- 9 And look at the alternative! – vs. 10

Pray For Restoration To be where God wants us to be – 2 Cor. 5: Notice how David worded this – vs More than forgiveness of the current transgression Long for the joy of salvation – Acts 8:36-39

Resolve to Offer Grateful Service As did David – vs This is true repentance, showing fruit Leading to salvation – 2 Cor. 7:9-11 Think of how little our words mean when we do nothing to back them up! – 1 John 3:16-18

Conclusion Confession is not regulated or overseen by man; it is between the individual and God, a necessary step for repentance and righteousness. Do not neglect it!

Acknowledge your trespasses to God and ask Him to forgive you. Learn from David’s penitent heart! If you have any questions or comments on this lesson, please send a message to:
