DEALING WITH SECRET SIN

It is easy for us to allow secret sins to creep into our life. When that occurs, how should we respond? First, you confess it to God. The Bible says that if we confess our sin He's faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us. The word confess literally means to say the same thing as. It’s saying, “God, I confess to You that this is in my life and I agree with you that it is a sin. Please forgive me.” Second, you repent. The word “repent” means to turn away from that sin. If there's a certain place you go to do this sin then you quit going to that place. If there's a certain person you're doing this sin with, then you break off the relationship. If there's something in your home that you use to commit this sin, then you get that out of your home. And finally, you admit it to another brother or sister in Christ. The Bible says that we are to confess our sins one to another. Chances are good that if this sin has been in your life long enough that you've become addicted to it. You need someone that you can admit this to who will pray for you and keep you accountable.
