After Adam and Eve sin in the garden their first response is to try to hide themselves from God among the trees of the garden. Can you imagine playing hide and seek with God and thinking you can win? Let's be honest. We do the same thing. Many Christians have a secret sin. And the reason you keep committing that sin over and over again is because you have somehow convinced yourself that nobody knows about your sin except for you. But if you think you have hid your sin from God, you are as foolish as Adam and Eve playing hide and seek with God among the trees of the garden.
So what are we to do? We are to confess our sins. 1 John 1:9 says that if we confess our sin -- In other words, if we will agree with God about our sin, God is faithful and just to forgive us. Just means will He forgive every single sin you commit. Faithful means will He forgive you every single time you commit it. You don't need to hide from God. When there's sin in your life You can come to Him and confess your sin. He will forgive every sin you commit and He will forgive it every single time. Let’s quit playing “hide and seek” with God
