The Bible says that IF we confess our sins then God will forgive us. That means we need to talk to Him about the things that we do wrong. If we don’t, whether we are sorry or not thing don’t look good. Therefore it is so important for us to talk to our Father about the things that we do wrong and admit that we need His forgiveness.
Confession follows adoration because when we truly see God for who He is it is impossible to not be repentant of all of our sin when we get into the presence of a pure and good God. In seeing all of His goodness and kindness and love we realise how much we fall short of His glory but “while we were still sinners Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8) and it was this act of selflessness by Jesus that allows us to confess and be forgiven.
