Confession

http://bible.com/111/1jn1.9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

This yesterday and today has been interesting in the passages of scripture.
To today. If we confess. Now in those three words. Confess is us doing. Then then the rest is the Lord forgiving.
We the unrighteous have a harder time forgiving. I am not sure why that is. In the new testament is says that we need to imitate Christ then we should be able to forgive when someone repentant and asks forgiveness.
I understand in away because in Eph 6 it states that we are in a battle not of flesh and blood but of the spirit. To forgive is to change us/me and the forgiven to change. Just thinking this is where freedom happens and relationships are restored.

* sorry for the grammatical errors just flowing with a thought.
