Getting closer to God 1

Getting Closer to God Day 1.

The biggest deterrent to being close with God is our sin. Therefore, the first thing we can do to have a closer relationship with God is to make a daily habit of confessing our sin to Him. If sin is the barrier in our relationship with God, then confession removes that barrier. When we confess our sins before God, He promises to forgive us, and forgiveness is what restores a relationship that has been strained. We must keep in mind that confession is more than simply saying, “I’m sorry for my sin, God.” It is the heartfelt contrition of those who recognize that their sin is an offense to a holy God. It is the confession of one who realizes that his sin is what nailed Jesus Christ to the cross. Get serious about your sin and seek forgiveness.


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 ESV

I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the Lord ," and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah Psalms 32:5 ESV

Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out, Acts 3:19 ESV 

Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. James 4:8 ESV
