Bible Scripture Confession Quotes
“Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you." And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them,
"Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of anyone, they are forgiven; if you withhold forgiveness from anyone, it is withheld.”
(John 20: 19-23)
I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I
said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest
the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
(Psalm 32:5)
Whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
(Proverbs 28:13)
When Jesus returned to Capernaum
after some days, it became known that he was at home. Many gathered
together so that there was no longer room for them, not even around the
door, and he preached the word to them. They came bringing to him a
paralytic carried by four men. Unable to get near Jesus because of the
crowd, they opened up the roof above him. After they had broken through,
they let down the mat on which the paralytic was lying. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Child, your sins are forgiven."
Now some of the scribes were sitting there asking themselves, Why does
this man speak that way? He is blaspheming. Who but God alone can
forgive sins?" Jesus immediately knew in his mind what they were
thinking to themselves, so he said, "Why are you thinking such things in
your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are
forgiven,' or to say, 'Rise, pick up your mat and walk'? But that you
may know that the Son of Man has authority to forgive sins on earth" -
he said to the paralytic, "I say to you, rise, pick up your mat, and go
home." He rose, picked up his mat at once, and went away in the sight of
everyone. They were all astounded and glorified God, saying, "We have
never seen anything like this." Once again he went out along the sea.
All the crowd came to him and he taught them
(Mark 2, 1-13).
Is anyone among you suffering? Then he must pray. Is anyone cheerful? He is
to sing praises. Is anyone among you sick? Then he must call for the
elders of the church and they are to pray over him, anointing him with
oil in the name of the Lord; and the prayer]offered in faith will
restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he
has committed sins, they will be forgiven him. Therefore, confess your
sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed.
The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.
(James 5:13-16.)
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just
and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
(1 John 1:9)
