Confissão
A confissão é caminho de libertação e restauração. Quando confessamos nossos pecados, Deus é fiel e justo para nos perdoar e nos purificar de toda injustiça.
Confessar e receber perdão
Se confessarmos os nossos pecados, Ele é fiel e justo para nos perdoar. A confissão abre a porta da graça restauradora.
But God will do what he says that he will do, and what he does is always right. So, if we confess to him that we have behaved sinfully, he will forgive us for our sins and ◄will free us from/remove► the guilt of all our sins. Because of that, we should confess to him that we have behaved sinfully.
Then/Finally I admitted/confessed my sins to you;
I stopped trying to hide them.
(Think about that!)
I said to myself,
"I will confess to Yahweh the wrong things that I have done."
And when I confessed them, you forgave me,
so now I ◄am no longer guilty/will no longer be punished► for my sins.
When I did not confess my sins,
◄my body/I► was very weak and sick,
and I groaned ◄all day long/continually►.
Those who refuse to confess/admit their sins will not prosper,
but God acts mercifully/kindly toward those who confess their sins and turn away from their sinful behavior.
But we Israelis have sinned. We have done things that are wrong. We have done wicked things, and we have rebelled against you. We have turned away from obeying your commands [DOU].
If you are guilty of committing any of those sins, you must confess what you have done.
Confissão como fé
Se com a boca confessares que Jesus é Senhor e creres, serás salvo. A confissão de fé é alicerce da vida cristã.
This message is that if anyone of you confesses/says publicly that Jesus is Lord, and if you (sg) believe that God ◄caused him to become alive again after he died/raised him from the dead►, you will be saved {God will save you}.
If people believe that Christ died and that God caused him to become alive again [CHI], the result is that God will erase the record of their sins. And for those who state/declare publicly that Jesus is their Lord, the result is that God will save them.
All people have done evil, and all people have failed to accomplish the glorious goals that God set for them. Our record of sins has been erased {God erased the record of our sins} by God acting kindly to forgive our sins, without our doing anything to earn it. Christ Jesus accomplished this by dying for us.
Try earnestly and with all your energy/strength [MET] to live in accordance with what you believe. Continue to do your tasks well in order that you will know for sure that you will live eternally. Remember that God chose you to live with him, and that when many elders were listening you said strongly ◄what you believe/that you trust in Christ►.
So, turn away from your sinful behavior and ask God to help you do what pleases him, in order that he may completely forgive you for your sins.
So, because the Lord is able to heal the sick and to forgive sins, tell each other the sinful things that you have done, and pray for each other in order that you may be healed {that God may heal you} physically and spiritually. If righteous people pray and ask fervently for God to do something, God will certainly do it in a powerful way.
Come near spiritually to God, and as a result he will come near to you. You who are sinners, stop doing what is wrong, and do only what is good [SYN, MET]. You who cannot decide whether you will ◄commit yourselves to God/obey God completely►, stop thinking wrong thoughts, and think only pure thoughts [MTY].
