Confession and Forgiveness

1 John 1:8-10.

"If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives."

This verse is central in the Anglican (the tradition within which I worship and fellowship) liturgy as part of preparation for the general confession. In some ways the truths contained in these verses have shaped my interraction with God more than any others.
