Confess definition

Confess means, “to say the same as.” When we confess our sin, we are willing to say (and believe) the same thing about our sin that God says about it. Jesus’ story about the religious man and the sinner who prayed before God illustrated this; the Pharisee bragged about how righteous he was, while the sinner just said God be merciful to me a sinner. (Luke 18:10-14) The one who confessed his sin was the one who agreed with God about how bad he was.

Confess means "to profess, affirm, admit, or agree with" – meaning we profess, affirm, admit, or agree with the fact that we have sinned and transgressed the will of God.

Confess means you (mentally) say the same thing as God says, that Jesus’ death on the Cross is the only adequate payment for your forgiveness and salvation. If I agree with God about what He says is true in Hebrews 10:10 (and I think through the entire Bible, though seen less clearly in the Old Testament), then I am made holy by God when I repent (change my mind to believe the Gospel), confess (that I agree with God that only Jesus death will save me), and believe (become convinced or persuaded that the Gospel of grace is THE Truth), then I in one second am made holy. Sometimes repentance and confession are taught as a kind of self-sacrifice. It may sound very good to claim you repented and you now feel sad about your sin. But your sadness is you punishing yourself in hopes that God will accept your sacrifice, your sadness and regret? You sacrificed your joy. Your punishing yourself with sadness is your own sacrifice that you hope God will accept. Confessing your sin is another form of your own sacrifice. You confess your sin in front of other people and in so doing you have sacrificed your reputation and you hope that God will accept your sacrifice. You have punished yourself by telling other people what dirty things you have done.

Confess means to agree with God that what you have done is sin. As long as we keep calling “sins” mistakes and sicknesses; as long as we keep blaming everything on our background, on what someone else has done to us, we will never take re- sponsibility for our own actions and responses. That is why God requires that we agree with Him that our PROBLEM is sin.
