How do we know confession of sin is necessary?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible states that there is no forgiveness without confession, as outlined in 1 John 1:9.

Confession of sin is not only necessary for forgiveness but is a core aspect of our relationship with God. In Psalm 51, David acknowledges, 'I acknowledge my transgressions,' emphasizing personal responsibility for sin. Scripture further affirms this truth in 1 John 1:9, which says, 'If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.' Acknowledging our transgressions is critical because it aligns with God's nature of justice, allowing His forgiveness to be poured out upon us.
