If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth. But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness. If we claim we have not sinned, we are calling God a liar and showing that his word has no place in our hearts. (1 John 1:8-10 NLT)
My beloved child, have you acknowledged your sins to the Father? When you confess your sins, He will forgive you and cleanse you of all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9) The Father will bury your sins in the sea of forgetfulness as far as the east is from the west and He remembers them no more. (Psalms 103:12) Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness (rebellion). (1 John 3:4) Sin is 'missing the mark,' and always leads to a downward progression. (Romans 5:12)
A trespasser is someone who crosses the line intentional or unintentional; it means to fall away after being close beside!' Peter trespassed when he denied Jesus. (Luke 22:34, 56-62) You trespass when you cross the line in your thoughts, words, attitudes many times a day and should be quick to repent and forgive others who do the same. (Matthew 6:15) Transgression is a presumptuous sin - to choose to disobey intentionally; Samson intentionally broke his Nazarite vow by touching a dead lion (Numbers 6:1-5, Judges 14:8-9) and allowing his hair to be cut (Judges 16:17) he was committing a transgression.
Iniquity is more deeply rooted, it is evil, wicked and a premeditated choice; to commit iniquity is to continue without repentance. David's sin with Bathsheba that led to the killing of her husband Uriah was an iniquity. (2 Samuel 11:3-4, 2 Samuel 12:9 and Micah 2;1) The Word says, 'Woe to those who plan iniquity to those who plot evil on their beds. In the morning light, they carry it out because it is in their power to do it.! In (Psalms 51:2) David cried out to God saying, 'Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. Iniquity left unchecked leads to a state of willful sin with no fear of God. The build-up of un-repented sin is pictured as a 'cup of iniquity being- filled to the brim.' (Revelations 17:4, Genesis 15:16) Often this leads to unnatural affection, which leads to a reprobate mind. (Romans 1:28-32)
God forgives iniquity, as He does sin (except blasphemy against the Holy Spirit) when you repent. "So, I tell you, every sin and blasphemy can be forgiven-except blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, which will never be forgiven. (Matthew 12:31 NLT) He will forgive your wickedness, and He will never again remember your sins. (Hebrews 8:12, Jeremiah 33:8)
Jesus death on the cross, resurrection, and ascension was enough to cover all sin. The blood is enough to cover you. (John 1:29, Romans 5:18, Psalms 32:5) It begins and ends with 'He forgave the guilt of your sin.' Repent of your sins and iniquities today! Christ is waiting to wipe the slate clean and give yo
